Video (color, sound), media player, screen or projectorDimensions variable, landscape orientation 15 min, loopEdition of 3, 1 AP

Mothership blends CGI animation with elements from sci-fi, video games, and art history in a 15-minute loop. It references Super Mario Kart 64, German Romantic landscapes, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Combining humor and vivid colors with critiques of art and power, Monaghan subverts pop culture icons. By repurposing familiar imagery, he creates a surreal loop where seductive simulations trap us in a vacuous cycle, challenging the meanings of the familiar and evoking a nightmarish, endless loop of superficiality.
