Mika Rottenberg was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1976. Her family moved to Israel in 1977.
In 1998 she studied at the HaMidrasha School of Art at Beit Berl College. She then moved to New York, earned a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2000 and an MFA from Columbia University in 2004.
Her videos show women with unusual physical traits, such as great height or strength, performing physical tasks that act as allegories of labor and the human condition. She calls her approach social Surrealism. Works include Mary's Cherries and Tropical Breeze (2004), Dough (2005-2006), Cheese (2007) and Squeeze (2010).
Her work appeared at the Whitney Biennial in 2008 and at the Venice Biennale in 2015. In 2013 the Israel Museum in Jerusalem held a solo exhibition of her work. Since 2019 she has been represented by Hauser & Wirth.
