Carla Rossi’s first solo exhibition, Bellissima.
We are glad to share a video in which the artist offers an in-depth introduction to the exhibition.
In Bellissima, beauty is approached not as a fixed condition, but as a performance shaped through repetition and the gaze of others. Following Rebecca , who participated in Miss Italia selections, the work traces a system driven by spectacle and the construction of femininity, where gestures, poses, and appearances are learned, staged, and continuously negotiated.
Carla Rossi (born 1999, Italy) is a Paris-based artist working between photography, art, and fashion. Her practice investigates how identity and femininity are constructed and performed within contemporary image culture, treating photography as a stage where gestures, poses, and appearances are learned and repeated.
She has worked on projects with Prada, Missoni, @newyorkermag , @zeit , @vogueitalia , and has been profiled by @wallpapermag , @zeitmagazin , and @bazaaritalia .

FRANKIE in action 🩻
“With a playful and inquisitive attitude, Sophie Hirsch (Vienna, 1986) explores the emotions that emerge from the versions of ourselves that appear when we play. It becomes a celebration of the hidden impulses revealed in moments of competition - the desire to win, the wildness that surfaces, the instinctive self we often keep concealed.”

For those who may not have the chance to visit the gallery in person to see Rose Ras’ first solo exhibition with VIN VIN, One foot deep, a light within, with a text by Carin Klonowski, here is a brief introduction to the exhibition.
The video includes a series of close details of the works, allowing a glimpse into their intensely material and visceral surface, as well as installation views of the exhibition itself.
The exhibition runs through April 18.
Rose Ras (b. 2001, Saint-Jean-du-Sud, Haiti) lives and works in Paris. She recently graduated with distinction from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Her practice is rooted in a physical engagement with wood, which she approaches both as a material and as a subject of investigation. Through carving, incision and layers of color, her works explore rupture, transformation and the impact of forces, natural or human, on matter and landscape.
