Aida Ruilova

Kayne Griffin Corcoran, Santa Monica

I'm so wild about your strawberry mouth. The exhibition will premier a new video work with the film director Abel Ferrara as its subject, a series of drawings executed on movie posters from the erotic Emmanuelle films, as well as her first sculptural work to date. Ruilova initiated her collaboration with Ferrara with a single question: "Please speak about Pier Paolo Pasolini's death and how you would direct your own death scene in relation to his?" In her resultant 45-minute video work, Ferrara unreservedly weaves between Pasolini's life and his own until the two become indiscernible. Ferrara sees Pasolini's death in cinematic terms, calling it a "beautiful movie." The interplay between the willful dramatization of a life (and death) and the inevitability of a director's own identity being formed by his films is central to Ruilova. Within the video, fact and fiction merge, conspiracy and truth overlap and the destructive tendencies of desire are revealed. Similarly, in Ruilova's drawings, the object of desire is both exposed and concealed. Opening saturday, March 23 6-8pm.
