Rosetta Messori lives and works in Rome as a professional photographer. She began her career as cinema scene photographer (from 1983 - 1992).
She attended the photographic courses of Prof. Victor Ugo Contino at the Academy of Arts in Rome and has participated in different workshops and lectures at the International Photography Centre in New York, where she began her personal research into relationships between SPACE, TIME (fourth dimension in space) and ENERGY here in the great metropolis.
Her works have been exhibited in Italy in public and private galleries, including: La Casa della Città, planned by Federica Di Castro, The Laboratory Museum of the University La Sapienza, the National Art Gallery of Modern Art. She has also been invited to exhibit in the Italian Institute of Culture of Damascus, in Cairo, Stockholm, Malta and Lillie at the Alessandra Library in Egypt, the Auditorium park of music in Rome, the City Hall of Magonza - in collaboration with the Academy of Arts in Magonza - in addition to personal and collective exhibitions in various private galleries.

Some of her works have been published in catalogues; "Artisti Italiani del XX secolo alla Farnesina" 2001, and "Arte Italiani per il XXI secolo" 2004.

?"The results of my photographic research has been obtained only by shots (or clicks). Therefore in approximately 1/4 of a second - free hand (without a tripod) I pursue the 'rhythm' with the intention of gathering invisible geometry for the inattentive eye.
What is important is the way of looking at Reality, considering an object/subject as a wave form, observing simply through vibrations or magnetic fields. This is possible when you have the perception of being observer and at the same time part of the object represented, a sort of bi-location.
Fourth dimension not only in 'time' but dimension of the spirit that doesn't live in restricted spaces, but on the contrary surges and searches for continuity between itself and the object observed.

To photograph with the mind's eye, 'projecting its Ego externally' not looking at the body from a particular point of view, but from all angles simultaneously: that means that the particular point of view of the 'Ego' must be moved and substituted by a general point of view which is not egocentric.
This is possible when you have the perception of being the observer and at the same time the object represented a sort of bi-location. Fourth dimension, not only in time, but dimensions of the spirit that doesn't live in restricted spaces but on the contrary flows and searches for continuity between itself and the object observed.

?Experimenting the material parting from the limits of the 'divided - measures' proposed by Science and concentrating on light, entering a visible world, that becomes freed of the packaging material and becomes symbol of light.
The feelings free themselves from the pressure of the emotions and passion and returns to its nature of pure inspired experience.
? To perceive, becoming part of a 'river' in continual transformation that can be recognised from the outside.
?I don't want to remain on the 'riverbank' to grasp at a blocked image, (cognitive - in scientific terms) still, because if this is so it would mean leaving the flow exposed losing conscienceness of the real sense.
?Being part of the 'river' to gather the intimate feeling (mine and that of the world) the deeper it is, the stronger the identification with the river."
