| book description |

Presenting an ambitious new project by Rachel Rose (b. 1986) commissioned jointly by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin, this book offers a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on one of the most striking emerging voices in contemporary art. In the commissioned work, titled Wil-o-Wisp, Rose has created a fictional narrative set in 16th-century agrarian England. Following the life of a healerâ€”whose fate is markedÂ by love and loss, the practice of magic, and the consequence of persecutionâ€”the work ruminates on the ways that perception and coincidence affect our experience in the world. This intimate look into Roseâ€™s creative process highlights the artistâ€™s interest in storytelling, scene-setting, and visual effects by including storyboards, production stills, script excerpts, and on-set photography. In a new interview, Rose discusses the core concepts behind this work and offers a revelatory firsthand account of how the commission evolved from conception to realization. Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Exhibition Schedule: Philadelphia Museum of Art (05/02/18â€“09/16/18) Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (11/02/18â€“02/03/19)
