Rosalie (* 1954, Gemmrigheim; † 2017, Stuttgart) studied art history and German at the University of Stuttgart, as well as painting, graphics, plastic art, and stage and costume design under Prof. Jürgen Rose at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.
She was a major name internationally with her theatre and stage projects for opera, ballet, drama and film, as well as her exhibition projects in contemporary image and light art. She developed new aesthetic languages in these artistic disciplines and did a great deal of interdisciplinary media networking and collaboration.
Peter Weibel (ZKM, Karlsruhe):
“Rosalie is a sculptor, an architect, a painter, and much more: Rosalie speaks a universal artistic language. With her kinetic light art sculptures, rosalie has fulfilled the hopes and promises of a new optical art […]. She creates new experimental spaces through the interaction of light and color and the rhythm of contemporary music.”
From 1995 Rosalie was also a professor and taught stage and costume design at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Offenbach, Germany.
She received the first prize at the first Munich Biennial – International Festival for New Musical Theatre in 1988, the European Culture Prize for her body of work in 2008, the Walter Fink Prize from the ZKM in Karlsruhe for intermedial disciplines in 2009, and the Order of Merit of the State of Baden-Württemberg in 2013.
