Their different backgrounds, Diogo in painting and illustration and Jagoda in photography and cultural projects, bring different ways of seeing into the collaboration. Together, they have developed a practice that moves between observation, photography, painting and abstraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecognizable subjects often provide an anchor within MOTS' compositions. Flowers, fruit, vessels, plants and other familiar forms are fractured through a language that can feel both painterly and digital, sometimes borrowing the blocky forms of 8-bit graphics and early video games. Shapes break apart, scales shift and recognizable objects meet more amorphic forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBringing these multiple styles together within a single composition has become a distinct part of MOTS' visual language. That language moves across paintings, murals, installations and sculpture, changing with different materials, scales and spaces. In their public work, architecture can also influence what the work becomes. MOTS respond to openings, divisions and structures already present, allowing the place itself to enter the composition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTheir work is built through this kind of exchange, between the two artists, between different visual languages, and between the artwork and the space around it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Territory is\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSHARED AUTHORSHIP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith MOTS, collaboration is not simply a division of labour.
