Mika Rottenberg’s art humorously confronts us with the absurdity of our excessive production of commodities. Her films are colourful and painterly, celebrating a surreal poetry whose protagonists often resemble cogwheels in a fantastic machine. In this way, they recall Tinguely’s poetic critique of consumerism expressed in his poetic “machines inutiles”. The exhibition shows a representative selection of Rottenberg’s films and installations, as well as new drawings and interactive kinetic works.
