Julia Rometti

Julia Rometti (b. 1975, Nice) lives and works in Mexico City, where she has made her home for over a decade, following a journey through diverse landscapes. This period of constant movement marked the genesis of her artistic practice, during which she has employed versatile mediums such as photography, film, collage, as well as ready-made and found objects, to explore non-Western ontologies through the lenses of fiction and speculation. Under the name of the artistic duo Rometti Costales, she explored issues that encompass the human and the non-human, considering nature as a space of political inscription. Julia Rometti’s practice recognises conditions and materiality as having agency and the capacity for intentional action that challenges anthropocentrism and traditional hierarchies, encouraging other perspectives on the world in which all entities are seen as active participants in shaping their environments and futures.

As a solo artist, Julia Rometti has participated actively in artistic events and exhibitions and, during her collaboration with Rometti Costales, she took part in exhibitions at influential institutions.
