rosa
mesa 's performance has been focused in the idea of working her themes
in a way that makes her feel closer to the public as well as compromise
with the space and time in which she is presenting her pieces. This
compromise translates itself in a need to create performances that will
be performed only once. The works are presented without previous
rehearsal and her interest is to present different views in relation to
any given theme. Although there are some general concepts that she likes
to work with as it could be migration, multiculturality, identity,
feminism or universal rights and politics she does not consider possible
to reduce her wok to a style or theme. Her whole body of work responds
to a deconstrucionist approach to reality that works toward a
constructive standpoint. Her pieces are often public interventions,
being one of the members of the Berlin based collective daily services
and an active performer within several artist associations.
Her
works takes inspiration in artist as Mendieta, Adrian Piper, Coco
Fusco, Paul MacCarthy and Joseph Bueys...From the point of view of a
planet threathened by unlimited consumerism, performance seems the best
and more responsible way of expresion, looking for austerity in bad
times.
Her pieces has been shown in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland....
