Yvonne De Rosa

Yvonne De Rosa


Rosa is a fine arts photographer, born in Naples 1975. Rosa’s Body of work ‘crazy god’ is one which has inspired and captivated me, along with countless other imagery.
The images are of her previous place of work from the 1990’s, which she revisited to document. The institution which the location she still keeps a secret.
Rosa keeps her place of work hidden from the audience, and forbids them from knowing its location.
Numerous years have passed since the closure of this institute, and she has revisited to document the personal items and treasures left by previous patients. Items which would of held great meaning are left dormant and uncared for sprawled across the floor. Treatments adorn the chalkboards a vivid memory of days which were not so luxurious for the patients. 
The natural beauty caused by the passing of time on this location is documented in such a sensitive way that; were it should be grim, almost touching morbid the sheer beauty of the natural lighting and formations formed by decay and growth of plants which were once kept in a clean and organized manner, almost bursts through the page. This captures the attention of audience and various companies who know compete for here photographic skills. This now freelance photographer who is based in London was awarded the ‘woman international prize in photography’ in 2006.
