O TYM ODCINKU
Raffaela Naldi Rossano is an internationally recognized artist primarily based in Naples and around the Mediterranean. Her creative practice is rooted in her studies in psychology—both Jungian and Gestalt Theory. Exploring the limits of desire, memory and ancestral forms of transmission, Naldi creates multimedia installations, which integrate sculpture, moving image, sound, collective action, poetry and the oratorial. In Episode 2 of Studio Visit, artist-curators, Levin Haegele and Omar Kholeif visit Naldi Rossano during her residency at Gasworks—her first extensive period spent in London since completing her MA at Goldsmiths in 2016.
An intimate embrace begins our episode. Together, we weave through and across a journey that takes listeners via portals of memory, music, and time. First, as Levin and Omar begin to play with the artist’s “transitional objects”— they activate questions of musical history, queer movement, concealed knowledge and the situated site of the body. With Naldi Rossano, they conjure ancestors—from the ocean and the poets—from London’s waterways through to Etel Adnan. This is #StudioVisit.
