Romina De Novellis is a performer, visual artist and anthropologist, born in Naples and grown up in Rome, active in Paris since 2008.
After several years dedicated to dance and theater, Romina De Novellis has approached performing arts, studying the body both from an anthropological viewpoint and from the perspective of Mediterranean cultures.
The artist uses ecofeminist theories as a parameter to analyze and denounce the oppressive realities of our societies, as well as the dichotomies nature-humanity, femininity-masculinity, North-South, scientific-intuitive, power-bodies and establishment-cultures. Traces of her performances are collected in form of polaroids, photos and videos.
She regularly exhibits in international events, museums, foundations and galleries, such as Paris+ par Art Basel (Jardin des Tuileries), Paris; Jeu de Paume, Paris; Ca' Pesaro, International Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Venice; MAC VAL, Musée d’art contemporain du Val-de-Marne, Ivry-sur-Seine, France; Fondation Villa Datris, France; Ruins of Pompeii, Italy; Alberta Pane Gallery Paris/Venice; Richard Saltoun Gallery, London, UK; Poznan Biennale, Poland; Salotto Missoni, New York, USA; MADRE Museum, Naples; Espace Vuitton, Paris; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris; Domus Artist Residency and Lo.Ft, Galatina, Italy; Institut Culturel Italien de Paris, France; Festival Les Nuits des Forets, Fontainebleau, France); Kulturzentrum Faust, Hannover, Germany; Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, France; Something Else Off Biennale Cairo, Cairo, Egypt); FIAC Art Fair Hors-les-Murs, Jardin des Plantes, Paris; Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature Paris, France.
