“My work has always been imbued with a mystical dimension because I want to show that the world is made up of layers, and that the invisible is an essential part of our reality. Through this fascination with mysticism, I seek to expand our perception of the real: it cannot be reduced to its physical dimension alone; it also belongs to the realm of lived, sensory experience.”

1. BIOGRAPHY

Multidisciplinary, Bianca Bondi’s practice involves the activation or elevation of mundane objects through the use of chemical reactions, most often by salt water. The materials the artist works with are chosen for their potential for mutation or their intrinsic and symbolic properties. Her aim is to promote experiences beyond the visual and advocate the life of matter with an emphasis on interconnectivity, transience, and the cycles of life and death. Passionate about ecology and the occult sciences, she combines the two resulting in pluridisciplinary works of a transformative nature through which the aura of objects is key. Often site specific, the poetic results are very much connected to the places in which they are to exist. Bianca Bondi graduated from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts of Paris-Cergy in 2012 and from WITS University in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2006.

Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Palazzo Chigio Zondadari, Sienna (2025); Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden (2024); Le Portique, Le Havre (2024); Dallas Contemporary (2023); La Casa Encendida, Madrid (2023); Crac Occitanie, Sète (2022); CAP Saint-Fons (2022); Fondation Louis Vuitton – Open Space, Paris (2021); Le Voyage à Nantes, Nantes (2021); Le Parvis, Tarbes (2020); Les Limbes, Saint-Etienne (2018); Hazard, Johannesburg (2018; La Cité des Sciences, Paris (2017); and at La Villa Belleville, Paris (2017).
