Suspended Time, on Caring
MATERNAL FANTASIES
»The film proposes new vocabularies and visual performative translations of the maternal experience with the goal of integrating intergenerational knowledge, and stretches tensions between social invisibility and fantastical visibility.
In Suspended Time, On Caring we combine colourful Tableaux Vivants, – re-stagings of art historical references – with chimerically orchestrated scenes, and playful and improvised performances in a low-tech, DIY-style surrealist setting. Through interactions between bodies, objects, and spaces, mothers and children re-re-re-assemble and turn maternal fantasies into playful experiences, personal narratives into social questions, and body dimensions into fields of interaction.« – MATERNAL FANTASIES
