A selection of works forms a brief retrospective on the incredible career of Marta de Menezes. The concept of identity and a dichotomy between the natural and the artificial are recurrent themes in Marta de Menezes’ practice. Beginning with ‘Immortality for Two’, the first collaborative work with her partner Luis Graça, which explores the reciprocal immortalisation of cells from two people in love, through to ‘The Origin of Species’, using CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology to alter living organisms that are the product of selective breeding and domestication, and ending with her latest work ‘Truly Natural’, that will confront your perceptions of genetically altered organisms..
