Mama


Mama is a sound and video installation in which a man cries out for his mother (Movie-Link). The video reverberates the visceral relationship between a mother and her son, a relationship that goes beyond the eloquence of verbal language. The video (1 min 35 sec) is looped, the sound however is connected to a motion sensor, thus only audible when visitors are walking by.

P.S. If the video is shown in a space, I envision it to be displayed on an old tv-screen which is placed at the height of an imagined crib and would stand in the corner of a room. Crying out for a mother would then turn into what it was planned to be: an installation piece with sound and not only a video.
