About The Artist
Mika Rottenberg is best known for her video installations which tell bizarre and enigmatic stories intended to shed light on gender, politics, human rights, and exploitation in our tangled and globalized world. Her videos are claustrophobic and colorful interpretations of factories and production lines in which women toil at strange and repetitive tasks. One motif which reoccurs is that of body parts becoming food. She has exhibited all over the world and her video installations are acclaimed for their visual intricacies and the perplexing and comedic way in which the videos explore human rights.
