Working in the theatre means calling on the skills of the reporter who chases a story, of the portraitist, of the creative and of the architectural specialist, since every stage set is architecture. Rossetti knows all this from many years of practice, aware that he must catch, in the extreme synthesis of a few frames, the dilated time of a performance.

His work prefers the very edge of that instant: from his search, the fruit of patient waiting and discreet presence, there remain bodies, gazes, shadows.
