Inna Rogatchi’s five of works from different Italian series created by the artist will be shown at the OBJECT 2022 exhibition at prestigious CICA Museum, The Institute of Contemporary Arts in South Korea in May-June 2022:

CICA Museum is a well-known art institution which was established in the mid-1990s and started to operate from 2006 onward. The Museum started as the studio and gallery of the leading Korean contemporary sculptor Czong ho Kim who was studying, working and exhibiting also in New York, Los-Angeles and Geneva. From that starting point, the international dimension of the museum was started and developed. The Museum is well-known due to its numerous international projects with American, in particular, New York based museums and art institutions. 

Among the exhibited works, three are from Inna’s Amarcord Forever series, the artist homage to Italian cinema, one from her VENICE-365 series dedicated to her favourite place in Italy, and one is from her Essential in Spirit: Firenze series dedicated to Florence.

The works from the artist’s homage to Italian cinema includes her artistic tributes to Giulietta Masina, Marcello Mastroianni, and Bernardo Bertolucci. In Inna’s work dedicated to Guilietta Masina, the artist used her own photograph of the original Masina’s dress for her role in the Federico Fellini’s film Strada ( 1954), the one of the best Masina’s roles in cinema.

The artist’s homage to Marcello Mastroianni was created as a tribute to the great artist.

Inna’s artistic collage in her homage to the great Italian cinema director Bernardo Bertolucci referred to Bertolucci’s famous Sheltering Skies film and also to his immersion into the world of books, and especially into the Shakespeare.

Inna’s work from her VENICE-365 series is her artistic vision of great detail related to the famous Campanilla at the San Marco square.

The artist’s work from her Florence series shows an original view of the arguably most famous sculpture in the world, the Michelangelo’s David.

All these works were previously successfully exhibited at the Inna’s exhibitions in Italy. She was special invited guest artist for her solo exhibitions in Venice in conjunction with the 69th Venice Film Festival, as a special art event in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the renovation of San Marco Campanilla, and at her solo show Essential in Spirit: Firenze in Florence.
