The Color of Places

The Color of Places (2025), directed by Max Von Gumppenberg
Original soundtrack ‘One day I will show you everything’ written and performed by Cosima

At Rosewood, discovery is at the core of every footstep and feeling that takes place within our properties.
 
In celebration of this year’s reveal of The World of Rosewood, we invite you to consider a new form of discovery, one experienced through the power of gestures, emotions and human connections. Unveiling the poetry in every fleeting moment - where the smallest acts hold lasting impressions.
 
Welcome to The Color of Places. A graceful interpretation of the invisible energy between us all. Concepted by the philosophical mind of Creative Director Max Von Gumppenberg, we are guided on a journey through the soulful voice of singer-songwriter Cosima, across descriptions of places that are filled by the color of each figure and interaction. Each person we meet is a cultural curator, a pandora’s box of treasures and knowledge growing with every new discovery. These people Von Gumppenberg calls ‘The Wanderers’, individuals that capture the essence of exploration, cultural exchange and personal reflection. An uplifting journey of discovery, synchronization and transference of energy across a cast of individuals.

“The Wanderers are a communion of artists and cultural curators. Their presence recalls memory, their movement suggests a feeling” - Max von Gumppenberg

At Rosewood, we weave the poetry of local cultures seamlessly into your path. Opening the doors to deep connections and rich memories that will impact the path you choose to travel tomorrow. Within all of us lie stories woven with beauty, waiting to unfold. Enriching our narratives with meaning and unity.
 
This is not a traditional story. The World of Rosewood promises to fill you with authentic moments that capture your soul. Consider this is an invitation to ask your heart, where do you want to grow next?

Say hello to The Wanderers

Set amongst one of the most classic of meeting spots, ‘the bar’ meet, smile and feel the subconscious stories of the wanderers amongst us. Dance and glide through a feeling of confidence and revelation.
 
Our eyes begin with the suggestive silhouette of Cosima.  
 
“She’s less a performer than a presence, quietly piecing herself together across landscapes and textures,” says journalist Nils Binnberg.
 
Each texture and landscape is formed through the introduction of new faces, held in their motion, conveying a mood, a character, moving through the syncopated drums of Cuban rhythms. Each face revealing an enticing potential of untold truths, of lives lived, ready to share on their journeys of ‘wander’
