Carlos Motta, Untitled (1998), Mor Charpentier
“Carlos Motta, born in Colombia, was only 20 years old when he made this. His work can make one think of Ana Mendieta and how she manipulated her gender expressions. Queering the body and the way that the body is read has also always been a concern for Motta. He’s one of those artists who, depending on the context, could be considered mid-career or emerging although he has a good two decades working as an artist.”
