Overview
Pamela Rosenkranz (b. 1979, Uri, CH) is an artist working in Zurich, CH. Her work transcends materiality through explorations of the particularites composing our world, abstracting biological and cultural impacts on human experience. While the body is often the measure of size, color and shape in her works, it is omitted and expressed in its most conceptual shape.
Rosenkranz’s paintings, sculptures and installations, pair familiar objects like Evian or Fiji water bottles and Viagra (mass-produced solutions to incredibly contemporary problems) with reductions of the bodily. Almost bitingly she reduces something as large as identity to a synthetic fleshiness, bound by plastic in branded water bottles. The commercially available products she uses physically and metaphorically respond to how elemental truths have been aestheticised and resimulated. After showing at international biennials including the 5th Berlin Biennale, Manifesta 7 and the Venice Biennale, Rosenkranz represented Switzerland at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2015 with her lauded installation, Our Product.
