Momoko Isshiki Roe-253 -monroe- Madonna- 2024 W... Direct

The work’s title, returning like a refrain—ROE-253 -MONROE- Madonna- 2024 W...—can be taken as an instruction: read the fragments, perform the connective labor. It also signals an openness; the ellipsis at the end gestures beyond 2024, beyond a single exhibition or catalogue. This is intentionally non-teleological. Momoko does not propose a final verdict on icons or agency; she stages an ongoing conversation, one whose contours will shift with new audiences and new contexts.
