Vancouver-born, L.A.-based media artist Aleesa Cohene<\/a> “uses found footage and sounds to create videos and installations about human intimacies. … Cohene\u2019s audiovisual collages are expertly edited, telling oblique, strongly atmospheric stories. The artist\u2019s found footage tends to come from Hollywood films and TV shows popular during her childhood in the 1980s and early 1990s. … Cohene was longlisted for the Sobey Art Award, and her work has also been shown at Oakville Galleries and Galerie Suvi Lehtinen in Berlin.”<\/p>\n

“Like, Like<\/a> portrays two love-sick women. The women are composite characters created from the actions, reactions and dialogue of multiple women from multiple Hollywood sources. The exhibition space includes a wall painting of a textile pattern reproduced from an image in the video and a scent created by the artist. The scent is composed of amber, musk, bergamot, black pepper, juniper bark, fibers from security blanket, lavender, Lenor \u201cApril Fresh\u201d fabric softener, neroli, and ylang-ylang.”<\/p>\n

Something Better<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Something Better<\/a> consists of three synchronized videos<\/a>, each a different member of a family. Spectators are introduced to multiple film actors who merge into three personae: father, mother and child. The three composite characters hear each other but don’t listen, look but don’t see and have relationships that are simultaneously distant and intimate. Something Better recognizes that our relationships to others are constructed through mirrors of ourselves. A textile pattern that appears in Something Better is painted from floor to ceiling on the gallery walls leading to the videos.”<\/p>\n
