MINOR ATTRACTIONS 2025
14-18 Oct
The Mandrake Hotel
20-21 Newman St, London W1T 1PG
'When the sun bursts/When will the sun die?' is a self-portrait of Momo Star. Born out of the torn rim wheel of a car crash, they are a vessel of entropic perversion, the thickness of heat in a dancefloor, the sublimation of violence, your personal mirror of stripped desire.
At the fair, the photograph is accompanied by a film by the same title shown as part of the Moving Image Programme on Tuesday (14 Oct) and Wednesday (15 Oct), and a performance during Minor Attractions Performance Night on Thursday (16 Oct), starting at 7pm.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Maite de Orbe is a Spanish, London-based artist working with photography, performance and moving image. Combining these media, their practice is focused on the complexity of identity making, touching on sexuality, gender and queerness, belonging, migration and community. Working collaboratively with dissident communities, de Orbe’s practice uses a visual documentary language at first that then lures into fantasy and world making, by prioritising love, intimacy and sensuality.
De Orbe is a Barbican Young Visual Artist alum (2021-23), their work has been published at PORT Magazine, The Financial Times, The Face, Dazed, Metal Magazine and has been shown at Frieze Art Fair, Barbican Centre, ICA, Reference Point, The Horse Hospital, and Bermondsey Project Space among others.
