Bill and I attended the opening of a show of photographs yesterday at ONEROOM Books -- one of Rome's best photobook stores and an art exhibition space.
How often we have been tempted by the voluptuous displays in this window on the via dei Chiavari at Piazza dei Satiri.
The occasion was the unveiling of a new body of work by Montreal-based photographer Ewa Monika Zebrowski entitled Bequest, 200 Statues. She told me to pronounce her first name as Eva -- "I'm Polish".
Those are her new prints on the back wall of the shop. Bill and I were too distracted by the interesting people we were meeting to document the work properly. Find some good examples on the gallery's website.
Zebrowski also produced some large prints for the exhibition -- here's one.
Bill and I were surprised to meet a number of Canadians
among the native Romans at ONEROOM. That's gallery artist, Eva Tomei, at the door.
Janet, a friend of the artist, emigrated to Rome from Vancouver, via a teaching stint in Dubai.
Stefano Ruffa is the brains behind ONEROOM. He has made this tiny space a must-visit shop for lovers of photography.
He showed us two of Zebrowski's recent artist books from his own collection.
We left the party having made some friends. That'a the ONEROOM magic. Find more Zebrowski on her website. Exhibition runs until June 29th, 2019.
My dream would be to make an artist's book.
