Born
(22nd Nov. 2004)
A child is pretending to be pregnant, but her mother doesn't take her seriously.
The concept of the project starts with the observation that we are not what we were yesterday. That we are constantly giving birth to a new 'me', and by doing so, die every day. The video illustrates how this process might become disproportionate in dramatic circumstances. And how it can tear up the celibate parent, killing until his most intimate nature. It explores the symbolic connection between a parent and his progeny, an individual and its reincarnation.
Photos, manga illustrations, short texts and a sombre soundtrack constitute the project.
‘Born’ video screened in April 2008 at the
