“Partus/Delivery/Geburt” attempts to convey an emotional atmosphere of birth and the time of the postpartum period. The video combines photography, painting and drawing into an experimental film. Self-portraits shortly before and after birth as well as watercolors, photographs and drawings of embryos and the placenta attempt to sketch the mood of becoming a mother from the artist’s point of view. While the images are projected, the fetal heartbeat and the uterine contractions of the artist’s baby can be heard recorded by a heart sound contraction recorder. The gallery space is additionally occupied by a clothesline hung with maternity knickers. The projections of the video loop cast different, changing moods on it – from blood red – like the maternal blood flow after birth – to black and white.
