Teodora Rotaru

Teodora Rotaru is an interdisciplinary visual artist currently pursuing a master’s degree in Photo-Video at the National University of Arts in Bucharest, where she also completed her undergraduate studies. Her artistic practice spans photography, collage, performance, installation, and experimental film, with a focus on personal experience, feminism, rituals, and socio-political issues.

A central theme in her work is the exploration of rituals. Drawing from anthropological and mythological traditions, she creates personal rituals that integrate her body as both a tool and a medium. Through this approach, she investigates identity—both individual and collective—alongside themes of self-representation, myths, and archetypes.

Her works have been showcased in national and international exhibitions and festivals, including On Photography...and Few Other Things at Strata Gallery, Bucharest, Romania (curated by Michele Bressan, 2022); And What Art Can Do About It at WASP, Bucharest, Romania (curated by Irina Botea Bucan, Jon Dean, and Anca Rujoiu, 2022); Retrospect Decommissioned Works at Lodger Gallery, Kansas City, Missouri (curated by Craig Auge); and Going On at HSBI (via Switch Lab Gallery), Bielefeld, Germany (curated by Michele Bressan, 2024).
