Project Room - Letizia Romanini

REGNO AMICALE

In the style of a sort of etude on the mining district, for this new project Letizia Romanini draws inspiration from the geological specificities and the endemic flora and fauna of the region. The project is an evocation of the area’s historical connection with the steel industry, intertwined with a consideration of the flux of time as being what reveals the natural world’s resilience and ecological vim. The aim is to use photography to capture weeds and reveal the precarious fragility of an entire ecosystem. Creating a repertoire, an inventory of an area, that will manifest itself through a large-scale immersive installation.

Regno Amicale (2025) is an on-site installation made up of large translucent surfaces harbouring images of vegetation, trees, and rocks. It seeks to awaken our sensitivity to the environment, to the cohabitation between species, and cause us to question our practices, our environmental commitment, and our own existence.

Letizia Romanini (born 1980 in Esch-sur-Alzette) lives and works in Luxembourg. Her work has been shown widely since 2010 in group and solo exhibitions in Germany, Belgium, France, and Luxembourg. She has been a guest at numerous international residency programmes (Berlin, Saarbrücken, Vienna, Vilnius), including Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin in 2018 and the Cité des Arts in Paris in 2022. In the same year, she also received a creative and publishing scholarship for photography, from the Centre National de l’Audiovisuel (CNA), which enabled the publication of her first book, 365, with Pétrole Éditions. She is represented by Reuter Bausch (Luxembourg).
