Rosali Schweizer Duitsland, b. 1956

The near-constant dynamism found in the works of Rosali Schweizer (born in Stuttgart, 1956) make viewing her 'kinetic art' as dynamic as the artwork itself. As a viewer, you are continually presented with new surfaces and colours to marvel at. Light, geometric bodies float in space, captivating attention in a manner so cheerful that it's impossible to look away from the technical constructions Rosali creates from wire, titanium, acrylic glass, carbon and glass fibres, paper, wood, and high-tech fabrics.

As varied as the materials Rosali works with are, they share one common characteristic: lightness. Where traditional kinetic artworks typically require levers or even motors to initiate movement, the dots and stripes in her work come to life through slight changes in air or light in the room. Her work then makes the space vibrate or, conversely, brings it to a state of calm.

Rosali learned the artistic intricacies of her craft from Prof. Eberhard Fiebig at the University of Fine Arts in Kassel, where she went on to study metal sculpture design after completing her education. Her subsequent work on film sets increased her interest in the interplay of light, colour, and movement. This fascination is evident in the refined structures she develops, resulting in distinctive kinetic objects that are not only surprising but also ensure a smile from the viewer.
