The perfect picture

Untitled, (Birgit Jürgensen) 2021 Plaster and Graphite on paper, 35 x 25 cm

In this series of drawings, Rondolini presents characters inspired by the fashion industry. Her primary interest lies in the search for transcendence amidst social dynamics, roles, and perceptions. Rondolini analyzes how the cultural industry, through fashion and adornment, influences the impression, formation, attributions, and social perception of individuals within our society. The context in which these attributes are perceived has a profound effect on reinforcing cultural roles and stereotypes. Our society originates from ancient value systems that dictated rigid norms of conduct and morality, whose controlling structure has mutated into new, more subtle and sophisticated forms of oppression that regulate how we act, consume, think, and relate to one another.

Her works reflect on how we are all implicated in prejudice and the perpetuation of inequality. Drawing is the medium for exploring our shared realities, for capturing and analyzing them. How can we better understand reality if not by drawing it? His work, ultimately, suggests encouraging reflection on the idea of ​​the self as a social construct in order to reimagine human relationships.
