Multidisciplinary artist Rossana Jeran ' s work rejects any conventional classifications and is marked with freedom as well as rigorous formalism, when encapsulating a careful attention to composition and balance. Her videos are stylistic tour de force that display your mastery of the medium, employing an impressive articulation of sound and image: in an age in which globalization and commodification impinge on every aspect of our lives, Jeran uses her kaleidoscopic approach to investigate about language, mobility, and transformation. One of the most impressive aspects of Jeran ' s work is the way it accomplishes the difficult task of unveiling the ubiquitous connections between microcosm and macrocosm: we are very pleased to introduce our readers to her stimulating and multifaceted artistic production.
