Exhibition: LOVE TEST: P.O.V.
19.9 – 27.10, 2024
Mint, Sveavägen 41, Stockholm
The stage is a skull. The camera is a hole. The body has at least nine holes. LOVE TEST: P.O.V. is a series of experiments in communicating and embodying point of view. The central video work Povera Noi, was shot this April with their family and community in Lamezia Terme, Calabria, using three police-style body cams worn by five neighbours. Sounds come through the wall, introducing the knowledge that something is going on over there, the picture changes when you stand in a different place.
Rosa Aiello is an Italian–Canadian artist, filmmaker, and writer based in Berlin. She works
in a range of styles from animation to documentary collage to cinematic narrative, as well
as architectural installation and photographic series. She takes an experimental approach
and uses what is at hand, in her domestic space, in her relationships, on her habitually
used streets. She is interested in structures; both social constructs, like the family, and the
actual built world, like architecture and city infrastructure. Her works have been shown at
numerous international art venues, including Fridericianum, Centre Pompidou, Kunsthalle
Zurich, Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, ICA London, Anorak e.V, Kevin Space, Cittipunkt, and
SculptureCenter.
