Bianca Bondi
Bianca Bondi nació en 1986 en Johannesburgo
Actualmente vive y trabaja en París
Rechazando cualquier jerarquía entre lo humano y lo no humano, lo visible y lo invisible, la artista explora las relaciones macro y microscopicas que tenemos con el medioambiente en un continuo flujo de metamorfosis. La artista llama nuestra atención sobre la fragilidad del ecosistema del que hacemos parte, resaltando la importancia de un marco mental ecológico y holístico para la continuación de la vida humana.
Bianca Bondi utiliza tanto la química como las ciencias ocultas para cuestionar nuestras representaciones y reconsiderar nuestras nociones de rituales y creencias, de ciclos con un énfasis en el resurgimiento y la regeneración. La artista experimenta con elementos naturales específicamente escogidos para examinar propiedades intrínecas o “energía”, supuestamente poseída por diversas culturas, y cómo esta energía puede ser canalizada y eventualmente activada. El acercamiento de la artista se despliega en instalaciones site specific monumentales e inmersivas, así como en trabajos bidimensionales e instalaciones esculturales.
Bianca Bondi se graduó en la Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de París-Cergy tras haber cursado dos años en la WITS School of Art, de la universidad de Johannesburgo en 2006.
