Paola Romoli Venturi was born in Rome. She lives and works in Rome. Her artistic research is linked to the value of transparency as a means to communicate. «Transparency and suspension prepare the visitor to "look through", not to look away, to observe things to reflect» this is the inspiring thought of her performances and installations exhibited in Italy and abroad. In her work, the artist touches on social themes, creating spaces designed by lights, shadows, and sounds, using different pictorial-sculptural means of expression, video, audio and site-specific performative installations. Among her ongoing projects, there is the performative sculpture MEMORIALE and the score BASOLO’s sound. She currently works on the concept il cappello del momento! and at the project Non riesco a tornare a casa.
