Vernissage
OVOGRAFIE
With Mariana Andone Rotaru
Curated by Ana Daniela Sultana
The practice of egg painting, widespread throughout Romania, functions as a form of ritual writing. It is within this symbolic and technical context that Mariana Andone Rotaru’s exhibition is situated, reinterpreting the tradition of egg painting through a contemporary practice centered on the ostrich egg.
The concept of the exhibition “OVOGRAPHY” explores the egg as a unit of measurement of genesis and as an object that contains within itself the entire universe, protected by a shell upon which the artist places, with wax and precision, maps of our collective memory.
