About this ebook
Mika Rottenberg’s practice combines video, installations, drawings and sculptures. Many of her works portray absurd assembly-line situations in which work is often being carried out by women whose outsized, far from conventionally beautiful bodies are called into play both as tools and raw materials. Offering captivating narratives in which whimsicality and wit merge with weirdness, and reality morphs into fiction, Rottenberg’s films are presented in the context of immersive installations that plunge the viewer into their world—a world beyond the screen—in a blurring of the borders between the imagined and the real. Book Contents - “Down the Rabbit Hole or Through the Looking Glass?”: interview between Mika Rottenberg and Daria de Beauvais. - “Breaking the Bubble: Mika Rottenberg’s Industrial Attractions”: an essay by Amy Herzog.
