David Rosetzky

Prato project 2013

Influenced by Sol Le Witt - whose works he had the opportunity to see during his time in Italy - David collaborated with dancer Giuseppe Claudio Insalaco, choreographer and dancer Sabrina Mazzuoli, actor Michele Degirolamo and musician Samantha Bertoldi to explore themes such as sameness and difference, anxiety and comfort, desire and restraint, proximity and distance.

The video Incomplete was shot with an Italian film crew in the studio of a local artist, Chiara Bettazzi, and post-produced later in Australia.
