rosa mesa 's performance has been focused in the idea of working her themes in a way that makes her feel closer to the public as well as compromised with the space and time in which she is presenting her pieces. This compromise translates itself in a need to create performances that will be perform only once. The works are presented without previous rehearsal and her interest is to present different views in realtion to any given theme.
Although there are some general concepts that she likes to work with as it could be migration, multiculturality, identity, feminism or universal rights and politics she does not consider possible to reduce her wok to a style or theme.
Her whole body of work responds to a deconstrucionist approach to reality that works toward a constructive standpoint. Her pieces are often public interventions, being one of the members of the Berlin based collective "daily services", member of "Kunst in der offenlich Raum" and it is part of several artists associations.
Her works takes inspiration in artist as Mendieta, Adrian Piper, Coco Fusco, Paul MacCarthy and Joseph Bueys...From the point of view of a planet threathened by unlimited consumerism, performance seems the best and more responsible way of expresion, looking for austerity in bad times.
Her pieces has been shown in Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland...
