CV
Angelica Rottingdam White (b. 2001 in Sleepy Hollow, United States) resides and works in New York, United States.
Angelica Rottingdam White is a multidisciplinary artist known internationally for their contributions in sculpture, video, performance, and sound. Their sculptural practice employs ready-made objects in combination with traditional materials, while their broader output encompasses immersive installations that utilize new media practices. White is best known for developing a distinctive figurative language that depicts objects within obfuscated contexts, challenging conventional modes of perception and interpretation.
White's work explores the human condition through the intersection of urban and ancient mythology, occultism, and symbolism. Their practice is characterized by an investigation into the liminal spaces between the sacred and profane, the contemporary and archaic, creating a visual vocabulary that interrogates modern existential concerns through mythological and esoteric frameworks. Central to their artistic development is the ongoing project "ASMR Bible" (2019-present), in which they systematically collect and analyze fetish and sensorial videos sourced from online communities, presenting these digital artifacts within contrasting industrial environments that create tension between intimate digital experiences and harsh physical spaces.
