Rondolini was born in 1976 in Buenos Aires. She received a Graphic Design
degree from the Buenos Aires Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism. She
also has a Bachelors in Visual Arts.
Her series I found the most
interesting, My Silver Path, consists of a giant box full of rotting fruit encrusted
with silver jewelry. The jewels are plastic but look like diamonds. From afar,
the viewer sees silver and shiny jewels but up close, the rotting fruit and
mold on the inside of the jewels is deliberately shown. The series touches on
issues such as artificial beauty and the glamour of people in the media.
I found the series interesting
because it is always changing every day as the fruit continues to grow mold and
deteriorate. It draws parallels to the social media and perhaps to people and
their inner and outer beauty.
“This work feels like a visual metaphor for the irony
contemporary human condition. The irony being that if we spend enough time to
really look at the people we feel are the most beautiful attention seekers of
the bunch we shall discover that there are likely to be the most ruined.”
