Rosalie

rosalie (* 1954, Gemmrigheim; † 2017, Stuttgart) studied German language and literature and art history at the University of Stuttgart; painting, graphics, sculpture and stage and costume design with Prof Jürgen Rose at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design.

Her theatre and stage design projects for opera, ballet, drama and film have attracted a great deal of attention. Especially since the scenic light and image spaces for Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Bayreuther Festspiele from 1994 to 1998, rosalie has been known to an international public. Essential to her work were specific productions with contemporary music that opened up completely new forms of interplay between light, colour and rhythm from the perspective of experimental spaces.

From 2006, light art in particular became a central theme within the multifaceted oeuvre of the Stuttgart-based artist, and her large-scale kinetic light sculptures were received with great interest by the public and the media. Contemporary materials, technologies of the greatest complexity and digital media formed the basis from which rosalie created "new universes of light" (quote from Peter Weibel): light art works of enormous colourfulness and emotionality. Important works in recent years include the kinetic light installations HELIOS (2007-2009), Séraphin (2007), HYPERION_Fragment (2008-2009) and CHROMA_LUX, exhibited as a permanent light sculpture at the ZKM | Centre for Art and Media Karlsruhe until the end of 2010.

She realised one of her last works in April 2017 in the then newly opened Elbphilharmonie Hamburg with the project "Mahler 8." (Gustav Mahler 8th Symphony), a co-production of the Hamburg State Opera and the Elbphilharmonie.

Peter Weibel (ZKM, Karlsruhe):

“rosalie is a sculptor, an architect, a painter, and much more: rosalie speaks a universal artistic language. With her kinetic light art sculptures, rosalie has fulfilled the hopes and promises of a new optical art [...]. She creates new experimental spaces through the interaction of light and color and the rhythm of contemporary music.”

From 1995 rosalie was also a professor and taught stage and costume design at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach, Germany.
She received the first prize at the first Munich Biennial – International Festival for New Musical Theater in 1988, the European Culture Prize for her body of work in 2008, the Walter Fink Prize from the ZKM in Karlsruhe for intermedial disciplines in 2009, and the Order of Merit of the State of Baden-Württemberg in 2013.

The “Flossis” project: 

rosalie’s creativity knew no limits as far as emotionality and color intensity were concerned. In Autumn 1998 her Flossis forged a special connection between the artist and the city of Düsseldorf. The sculptures were displayed for three months as part of an exhibition before the city decided that they ought to remain in Düsseldorf forever. They have been located in the Medienhafen district since 2002 and have become an artistic hallmark of the city.

“The figures for me are ciphers for joie de vivre, signets for experiences of the imagination.” – rosalie, about her Flossis
