Each of the videos are an attempt to address a limit in perspective. Mosquito often makes unexpected moves in the proposal itself, such as in ‘Three continents’ in which he addresses the populations that he bought their state; ‘the Europeans’ is for him a notion fundamentally different from ‘Europe’. He also formalizes his appearances into characters, such as Nástia\u0026nbsp;- not Nástio - who deals with grieves that need to be dealt with, as in ‘Nástia\u0026nbsp;answers Gabi’. In order to reach his audience, Mosquito makes reference to a wide array of speech traditions, from stand up to political discourse. ‘Nástia's\u0026nbsp;Manifesto’ is a clear example of this, as is ‘Frozen War’, a declaration from behind a lectern and a microphone. \u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e","url_2":"","url_3":"","cached_name":"Nástio Mosquito","date_of_death":null,"cached_name_asc":"Mosquito, Nástio","stream_count_app":45,"gender":"male","platform_admin":null,"description_ca":"","short_description_ca":"","description_it":"","short_description_it":"","hide_from_json":false,"prev_platform_id":64,"description_uk":"","short_description_uk":"","poster_image":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/mhka_ensembles_production/assets/public/000/077/705/large/2010-3_Continents-Na%CC%81stio_Mosquito-1.jpg?1728567357","poster_credits":"© Nástio Mosquito","media_count":1,"items_count":14,"translations":[{"locale":"en","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eNástio Mosquito, started out in musical training, and moved from this to film production.

В своих видеоработах и перформансах Москито самостоятельно играет множество ролей, выражая к каждой определенное отношение, подчерпнутое самим художником из его работы в качестве актера, ведущего, певца и импрессарио. Художник противостоит стереотипам об Африке и ее народе, которые, хоть и не являются частью действительности, но представляют часть конфликта, который демонстрирует нам художник. Работы Москито построены на противопоставлении харизмы и экзотики, смеха и страха, развлечения и неловкости. Его произведения дают представления о будущем, где мы можем иметь определенную свободу, быть теми, кем мы себя ощущаем, а также быть потребителями культурных различий.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"AO","place":"Luanda","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}},{"country":"BE","place":"Ghent","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}},{"country":"BE","place":"Ghent","category":{"en":"Works in","nl":"Werkt in ","fr":"Travaille à"}}]}
