MAMA
performance and installation
During the best of Graduates award ceremony at Ron Mandos gallery I was asking myself, what is the greatest creation of all? And my instant answer was "a child". Directly after this idea we were handed drinks in cans I have never seen before or ever after which read "mama" on each and every one. Was this a sign from above?
I had cherished the idea of making a baby for a long time but I never found the right moment or partner for it. While drinking the rose lemonade from oreintal "mama" I thought, now the clock had almost reached 12 and there is no more time for waiting around. I just have to do it by myself.
Wouldn't it be perfect to deliver this ultimate creation and give birth during my graduation show?
So I started to plan...
