Bridget Moser: My Crops Are Dying But My Body Persists

Remai Modern presents a new solo exhibition by Canadian artist Bridget Moser. One of the country’s leading young artists, Moser has received national recognition for her satirical performance and video projects. Drawing from prop comedy, experimental theatre and performance art, Moser uses humour to explore themes of futility and failure, confusion and loneliness, and the general awkwardness of being alive. This exhibition marks Moser’s first major solo museum exhibition in Canada.

Where

Remai Modern

My Crops Are Dying But My Body Persists is a video work that incorporates strange and sometimes unsettling images of food, the artist’s body and decorative objects. Comprised of short scenes and excerpts, the artist builds a humourous and bizarre mise-en-scène that explores themes of discomfort, loneliness and fears about the future.
