Jota Mombaça is currently participating in the group exhibition "Tactical Specters", on display at the Centre d’Art Contemporain de La Ferme du Buisson in Paris, running until July 13th.
Mombaça presents the work "Ghost 7: French Historical Maladie", produced in 2023 at FRAC Pays de la Loire and now in the collection. The artist immersed red cotton fabric in the Loire (near the Frac). One month later, the fabric was recovered in an advanced state of decomposition, coated with silt and pollution. Ghost 7: French Historical Maladie is a collection of disintegrating “bodies of water”, made from shreds of textile that the artist dried and cleaned, then cut, sewed and placed on metal structures.
Like skeletal spectres both abject and powerful, these sculptures reflect the secret experience of the river la Loire, while metaphorically pointing to the survival of the colonial and industrial past of the city of Nantes.
