Rosa Bonte is born in 1997 in France. She’s currently studying at Plymouth College of Art in BA photography for her student exchange. In France, she’s studying at the École Européenne Supérieure d’Art in Quimper.

Rosa discovered the photography when she was young and always played with a camera as a child, but it’s only when she went into art school that she started to have a real practice. She’s been introduced to analogue photography and since she uses an analogue camera.

Rosa's work explores analogue techniques in image-making, including black and white and colour lab development, she uses differents camera as chamber 4x5 inch, chamber 20x25cm, 6x6 cm, 6x4,5 cm, 24x36.

 

The main theme of her work is the body, and more particularly the erotism of the body, she treats the body not only as a visual object, but questioning psychological eroticism, and the body represented in order to question desire.

 

Rosa explores how we can photograph our intimate feelings, trust, emotion, affection, creating a desire with traces, and fragments of the body. She works with others as her subject, and often herself using fabric, lights, shadows. Straining between sex and death, Eros and Thanatos.
