ROSEMARIE GLEISER

Visual Artist, Writer & Researcher

My artistic and investigative practice explores the invisible structures that contain the human experience. Through a hybrid language that intertwines intervened Photography. Textile art, and Literature, I investigate how memory, cultural identity, genetics, and the environmental function as living tissues that sustain and shape us. 

Currently my work develops across two parallel axes:

 . The Territorial Container: I intervene photographic images of glaciers and bodies of water using sutures made of dental floss, silicone and Morse code. These pieces act as visual records of environmental pollution, exposing the scars of the climate crisis on the global territory.

. The Cultural Container: I develop illustrated narrative projects that rescue the intimate memory of family migration. Through the compilation of culinary recipes and multilingual expressions, I map language and community as our primary sanctuaries of identity.

My visual and literary proposal is backed by a rigorous international academic trajectory. I hold a PhD Cum laude in Art & research from Universidad Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM, Spain, 2013), a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Studio Art from New York University (NYU, USA, 1999), and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia, 1991).

Through this conceptual and academic framework, my work seeks to bridge the macro scale of the planet with the micro scale of genetics and affections – making visible the threads, whether made of silk or memory, that reminds us what we are made of and where we belong.
