Roon’s rhizomes is an installation presented at Cinema Supply Gallery in Chelsea in 2022, curated by Vanessa Selk. Rhizomes are underground plant stems that grow horizontally, capable of nourishing other plants when they are about to die, contrary to roots that grow vertically. Their complex connecting life system inspired French philosophers Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) and Félix Guattari (1930-1992) to imagine a model of Western society based on horizontal networks, growing from a small seed into a larger form of arborescence. Similarly, Martinican author, poet and philosopher Edouard Glissant (1928-2011) used the rhizome metaphor to propose a radically new approach to what identity is: we are not defined by our roots or where we are from, but by the encounters we make and connect to through time and space throughout our lives.
