Rosie Giuliano
By day, Rosie Giuliano studies graphic and performance design at The University of Melbourne (VCA). By night, they are a screenwriter, filmmaker, graphic designer, visual artist and dreamer. Since their early teens, Rosie has been designing book covers and posters for a small publishing press and indie authors. As a cinematographer and film editor, short films Rosie has worked on have won prizes and been screened at various international film festivals.
In their work, they discuss humanity’s complex relationship with nature within our post-modern landscape, including issues of identity and belonging that arise with it. However, at its core, their work tells stories of the subconscious such as dreams, memory and abstract thought and how they manifest in our outward selves. Through explorations of the metaphysical, they create work in hopes of connecting with audiences on subliminal levels.

This work aims to explore Humanity’s relationship to time and space by questioning our position within it. The overlapping, ghostly movements of the preoccupied figure sheds light on the anxiety of not quite knowing where you belong, or if you are in the right place at the right time, doing the right things. Thus, these conflicting husks of the same person highlights the dichotomies we constantly have within us, perhaps synonymously or across different points in life.
Lowered frame rates and slowed down footage have been used to allow more space to process the work, a rare thing that occurs in our digital, post-modern world. This is emphasised by the work’s single, static shot, experimental overlays and added visual noise which confronts audiences with our dissociated perceptions of reality and our physical vessels due to constant stimulation and pressure put on our online personas.
