Bianca Bondi (Johannesburg, South Africa, 1986) lives and works in Paris. Multidisciplinary, her practice involves the activation or elevation of mundane objects through the use of chemical reactions, most often by salt water. The materials she works with are chosen for their potential for mutation or their intrinsic and symbolic properties. Her aim is to promote experiences beyond the visual and advocate for the life of matter, with an emphasis on interconnectivity, transience, and the cycles of life and death. Passionate about ecology and the occult sciences, Bianca Bondi combines the two in multidisciplinary works of a transformative nature, in which the aura of objects is key. Often site-specific, the poetic results are closely connected to the places in which they exist.
