What are these mouths trying to tell us? We will never know...
About the work
In Shertise Solano’s video performance Mantra II, we see mouths speaking or singing rhythmically but we cannot hear their voices. The window piece was created specially for this location. It is an adaptation of Solano’s work Mantra (2018), in which she combines Sun Ra’s song Somebody Else’s Idea (1970) with imagery inspired by Samuel Beckett’s play Not I (1973).
Mantra and Mantra II will be on display until 21 June 2026 as part of the Move You Fool exhibition.
About the Framework
For the Framework, we ask an artist or collective to create a new work or an adaptation of an existing one. The digital display always ties in with the subject of an exhibition currently on display at the museum. This way we literally bring art outside the museum walls.
