October 17, 2021 marked the opening of a limited-time exhibition exploring several works from legendary glamour photographer Aurora Rosselli that celebrates her most expansive retrospective exhibition Acherontia in Sicily.
Aurora Rosselli’s Acherontia examines Rosselli’s influential body of work, widely considered one of the most important artworks of contemporary Art Photography. Pioneering for the emphasis on the eyes themselves as a unique narrative form, the exhibit is coming to an end with a massive success across Sicily.
Through self-portraiture silver prints and first-edition original work, Rosselli’s Acherontia brings new insights into her iconic career.
Known for the dramatic lighting and the unconventional cuts of her self-portraits, Rosselli’s work is obsessive and subversive, incorporating themes of persistently yet subtle sensuality into the narratives of her images.
Increasingly focused more on her images than her career as an Influencer, she continues to travel these days, dividing her time between her beloved Sicily and herLos Angeles home.
Controversial scenarios, water, bold lighting, and striking compositions came to form her signature look, and in November 2021, Aurora Rosselli got awarded the Mediterranean Collection 2021.
After her digital exhibit at the Louvre in Paris, she’s described as a “widely imitated glamour photographer with provocative, erotically charged black-and-white photos.”
But what’s coming up next for our beloved Italian celebrity?
An insider told us that a world-exclusive upcoming gallery would proudly present the first major permanent exhibition of this celebrated artist and photographer’s work. Alongside her rarest and most iconic large-format photographs, the gallery will also offer an exclusive and unpublished body of work available in new formats and editions, thereby revealing a lesser-known, more spontaneous, and personal side of the artist’s oeuvre.
The ambitious exhibition will bring to the attention of Italian and International collectors more than 50 artworks carefully selected by the museum owners and Aurora Rosselli herself. The show will include not only the photographer’s most beloved work, but it will also demonstrate the photographer’s vast creativity in fashion as in her most intimate portraits, they were brought together in an ode to Italy.
Aurora Rosselli will most likely return to Sicily in June 2021 to finally sign over for the family succession after the sudden passing of her father, a famed politician and head of the Templars of Italy, and to spend some quality time with her family and friends, away from the cameras of reality tv shows, and before getting back into the world of Glamour Photography. “I have been consistently working seven days a week for years without a break, and my life coach strongly suggested that I try to take a break before getting back to photography full time again.” Rosselli’s said. It’s unclear if she will go back to Sicily with her loved ones or significant other, and we are anxiously awaiting to see her next move.
Now that her short-lived gossip moment with TKO Capone seems to be over, Rosselli has decided to set the record straight on the relationship with the Bigo Host and break the silence. “We are just acquaintances, we’ve never dated, and we’ve never even met. That’s a false narrative that I am not supporting, and I am no longer keeping quiet. I am not dating. I am not seeing anyone. I have solely focused on work and my children at this point in my life. That’s it, please stop the madness and let this tale go”. We reached out to Capone for a statement, but he never got back to us on this subject matter. Why didn’t the Italian star address the rumors before? “It was irrelevant to me since none of it was true. Why should I address something so irrelevant and so false? Wasting my energy on this gossip is just beyond me; I have bigger fish to fry and bigger things to get to.”
For the past month, we’ve seen Rosselli, who has mostly kept her private life under wraps, in Sicily, going from spending time with the most iconic fashion designers. From ex-fiancé Stefano Gabbana, co-founder of the Dolce & Gabbana luxury fashion house, to Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain, to celebrating her birthday with a wide array of male friends and past lovers. From bankers to athletes to rockstars and famed Italian celebrities, we cannot get enough of this ever-changing chameleonic woman.
