Kelsey Isaacs — Baby Mozart’s Kiss (2026), Theta, New York

Three miniature screens reduce video to an intimate, fragile and almost tactile object at the edge of memory.

In Baby Mozart’s Kiss, three looping videos — sequel 4, sequel 5 and sequel 1 (2026) — are confined to miniature MP4 players. The moving image no longer commands a sovereign screen: it becomes an object, a relic and a surface that must be viewed at close range.

The installation is on view at Theta, New York, from 9 September to 24 October 2026; the documentation was posted on 17 September. Kelsey Isaacs uses miniaturised, repetitive video to place intimacy, memory and the technical circulation of images under pressure.
