MOT International is delighted to announce the first solo exhibition of Caroline Mesquita in Belgium. Featuring anthropomorphic brass sculptures and paper sets alongside the artist’s first ever film, Some blue in my mouth depicts a scene in which inanimate characters are watching themselves being filmed. As is often in Mesquita’s work, life-size figures find themselves in situations that may appear discomforting to the viewer. Recounting a collective experience whose nature remains ambiguous, Some blue in my mouth evokes a sensual relationship between animate and inanimate bodies and highlights the physical attraction that objects can elicit from humans.
Caroline Mesquita (b. 1989 Brest, France) lives and works in Paris and Brittany. Recent solo exhibitions include Bal at SpazioA, Pistoia; Windsurfers at Carlier Gebauer, Berlin; Sloths at Centre d’art du Parc Saint Léger, Pougues-les-Eaux; Camping at Union Pacific, London (2015). Her work has been featured in group exhibitions at On Stellar Rays, New York; FRAC Ile-de-France, Paris; The Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo; Palais des Beaux-Arts, Paris; Flax Foundation, Fahrenheit, Los Angeles (2014); Fondation Ricard, Paris (2013); Monnaie de Paris, Paris; Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012).
