Exhibition series Quickie of Fame from the Kasko, "Loving Secrets"
„In „Loving Secrets“, a dark pink lily roams through the rooms of „Madero 10“,
accompanied by the gentle sounds of a flute. It‘s rhythmic tapping on the
patterned tiles evokes a slow funeral march, telling the stories of past lives.
The lily is part of a purifying ritual through which Rosanna Monteleone (*1977)
engages with her vacant family home in Mexico.

The documentary captures the architecture and the abandoned objects that

Monteleone explores the conditions and possibilities of temporal and material
transformations.
A lump of clay becomes the protagonist of this transformation process. It retains
traces and memories that become visible as it is shaped and turned. The clay
serves as a foundation for artistic products and carries a language of form and
color that invites new interpretations. The found and created objects in the
installation reflect individual sequences of the video work, stimulating a dialogue
about the deeper narratives behind the objects.“
