His performances and videos place the artist himself centre stage, adopting different personae, and taking attitudes from his other experiences of working as an actor, presenter, singer and media impresario. His work is often described as confronting stereotypes of Africa and its people, which, while not untrue, is only part of the complex encounter we experience with his work. Mosquito plays with charisma and exoticism, with being funny and scary, and with being entertaining and awkward. We are always left never quite knowing if we are meeting the real N\u0026aacute;stio Mosquito, and yet the works offer a glimpse of a future where we may have a certain freedom to be what we feel, beyond political correctness and the desire to be consumers of cultural difference.

In zijn performances en video\u0026rsquo;s plaatst de kunstenaar zichzelf centraal, en neemt daarbij verschillende persona\u0026rsquo;s aan, alsook houdingen die zijn ge\u0026iuml;nspireerd op zijn eigen ervaringen als acteur, presentator, zanger en media-impresario. Zijn werk wordt vaak omschreven als een kritische benadering van de stereotypen die bestaan rond Afrika en zijn volkeren, wat, hoewel niet onwaar, slechts ten dele de complexe ontmoeting die we doorheen zijn werk ervaren, beschrijft. Mosquito speelt met charisma en exotisme, is zowel grappig als eng, onderhoudend als ongemakkelijk. Het is nooit helemaal duidelijk of we de echte N\u0026aacute;stio Mosquito te zien krijgen, en toch biedt het werk een glimp op een toekomst waarin we een zekere vrijheid kunnen hebben om te zijn wat we voelen, wars van politieke correctheid en de wens om consumenten van cultureel verschil te zijn.
