2021. Installation with desk, boxes, latex uterus, ceramic lipsticks, nectarine cores, ceramic shoes, ceramic baby rib cage, box of styling gel, drawings, pregnant karate video, milk microscope video
Through this full room installation, bringing thoughts to a feminized mummy's tomb located in an old office, pregnancy and motherhood is explored through ambivalent poetic perspectives. The production of a new human is put in relation to capitalism's reduction of all to commodities, and allures the double meaning of mummy: both mother and a body which has been conserved by disintegrating it to parts, putting organs in boxes.
You can watch a video documentation of the full installation as it looked at the annual exhibition Rundgang at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in june 2021 here:
