Biography

Born in Argentina and based in New York, Mika Rottenberg has established a distinct practice that blends video, sculpture, and architectural installation. Her work often features surreal, factory-like environments where the physical labor of performers is linked to the creation of commodities, highlighting the often-invisible processes of global capitalism.

Her signature installations frequently incorporate elaborate sets and mechanical contraptions that serve as metaphors for the body and its functions. By juxtaposing the tactile, physical presence of her performers with the mechanical nature of production, she creates immersive experiences that challenge viewers to consider the human cost of consumer goods.

Rottenberg continues to be a prominent figure in the international contemporary art scene, with her work featured in major galleries and institutions globally. Recent programming at Hauser & Wirth Menorca has highlighted her ongoing influence, showcasing her ability to engage diverse audiences through complex, multi-sensory installations.
