Morris Adjmi Architects

Vera Rossi is a photographer whose work focuses on nature, still lives, and works of art. Her photographs capture transitional spaces between interiors and the outdoors as framed by grids of windows. Objects come to life in intense lighting conditions, casting dramatic shadows that turn into uncanny abstract forms—compositions that seem at once out of time and timeless.

The works’ ambiguous temporality is furthered by the persistent presence of the grid, itself a guiding principle that stretches across time in art and architecture. Her interest in window grids comes from her father, Aldo Rossi. The window grid is a quintessential typology in Aldo’s architecture, where it is often reduced to the transcendent form of a cross. 

Vera regularly shows at the MIA Photo Fair in Milan. Her work was included in the “War & Peace” and “Group Show” exhibitions at the MA office.
