Elisabeth Sonneck's Spatial Congruences at Spazio In Situ, Rome

German artist Elisabeth Sonneck (born 1962 in Bünde) transforms Spazio In Situ in Rome into an immersive environment where existing architectural elements—pipes, cracks, protrusions—become integral to her site-specific installations. Using long painted paper rolls that shift from rigid cylinders to airy volumes, Sonneck creates temporary works that engage in a spatial dialogue with the gallery. Critic Giuseppe Di Salvatore compares her color choices to the sonogram analyses of Émile Leipp, describing her rolls as musical scores. The exhibition, curated by Valentina Muzi, turns the gallery from container to content, with walls, columns, and windows interacting with the paintings. Sonneck's autonomous intervention establishes a delicate equilibrium, inviting viewers to move through the space in a two-step dance with the works.
