Caroline Mesquita's Sculptures at T293 in Rome

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Caroline Mesquita (born 1989 in Brest, lives in Paris) presents sculptures at T293 in Rome that evoke Yugoslavian Spomeniks, fallen spacecraft parts, welded and oxidized metal fragments, and futuristic totems. The works explore relational ambiguity and how individual perception shapes meaning. A video features a solitary taxi driver encountering mysterious characters played by the same actor, transforming into metal humanoids and reconfiguring concepts of gender, personality, sex, and sociality. The exhibition was reviewed by Francesca Mattozzi.
