Julia Rometti (b. 1975, Nice). Lives and works in CDMX, where she has
made her home for over a decade, following a journey that led her through
various 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, and collages, 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 nonhuman,
considering nature a space of political inscription. Julia Rometti’s
practice recognizes the conditions and materiality as having agency
and capacity for intentional action that challenge anthropocentrism and
traditional hierarchies, encouraging other perspectives on the world, where
all entities are seen as active participants in shaping their environments
and futures.
As a solo artist, Julia Rometti has actively participated in artistic events and
exhibitions, including her residency at Gapado AiR Residency; Gapado,
KR. She has had solo exhibitions at Museo Anahuacalli; CDMX, MX and
PEANA; CDMX, MX. In 2024, she is scheduled to be part of a group
exhibition with a new commissioned project at Museo Tamayo; CDMX,
MX. During her collaboration with Rometti Costales, she engaged in
exhibitions at influential institutions such as Museo Jumex and SAPS Sala
de Arte Publico Siquieros; CDMX, MX; Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador
Allende; Santiago, CL; Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo; Madrid, ESP; Centre
