In the video performance, the woman attempts to adapt to the role imposed on her by the system – a heterosexual reproducer. Pieces of burnt milk create a mask that symbolically takes away her individuality. A mask that obscures and unifies, eliminates the diversity of desires – both of mothers and non-mothers. The process that the performer struggles with refers to the mechanisms of social pressure that construct a collective pattern based on the myth of the maternal instinct.
Video performance, along with an object and a photo series, is part of a three-piece installation titled (Re)production.
