The workers in Rottenberg’s videos are often women who earn their living from their distinctive physical features, such as extreme obesity, muscularity, height or unusually long nails or hair. In the claustrophobic settings she constructs, women engage in the production of maraschino cherries, dough, make-up and wet-wipes in the most astonishing ways.
"Mika Rottenberg has the rare ability to comment on contemporary life in a way that is visually alluring," states exhibition curator Tessa Praun. "Her work can be interpreted from a broad feminist perspective, as well as one that embraces modern body-image obsessions and a poetic application of Marx’ theories on labor. With her unique, lighthearted, and absurd narratives Mika Rottenberg creates art that is serious, thought-provoking and liberatingly funny.
