José Andrés Mora: The Mornings in Reverse

Artspace, 2022

The Mornings in Reverse invites us to consider the relationship between memory and anxiety through the lens of reflection. 

Facilitating our engagement with light, text, and landscape, Mora creates contemplative and uncertain circumstances for audiences. By engaging our desire to decode, translate, and understand, the work in this exhibition shifts us into uneasiness, imparting feelings of dislocation and displacement.

José Andrés Mora is a Venezuelan-Canadian artist who creates work in interdisciplinary media. Mora’s current text-based video installations reflect intimate politics of language told through animated text utterances. With a particular focus on experiences around displacement, cultural hybridity, and assimilation, Mora creates display mechanisms that affect the personal connotation of his texts.
