In the upper gallery, Rosa Aiello’s The Coquette, The Prude includes a sound artwork of a train, echoing a narrative between stereotypical figures in photography.
The Coquette, The Prude is Rosa Aiello’s solo exhibition based on two of the seventeen stories from Patricia Highsmith’s Little Tales of Misogyny. The exhibition consists of a video (The Coquette), a series of photographic works (The Prude) and a sound installation of a train that periodically runs through both the narrative of the video and the gallery space.
Rosa Aiello is an artist andwriter based between Hamilton, Ontario and Berlin, Germany. Her practice takes many forms, most often fiction, word games, CG animation, live action, and sculpture.
