Kunstvideo serie DR KANAL K
Silicone babies are sculpted by “re-borners and bought by doll collectors who call themselves “mothers” on youtube. “Mothers” feed bathe and dress up their babies. The film recreates the illusion of the close relationship between mother and child with participating actors, puppeteers and doll collectors. They experience the “baby” coming out of the box for the first time. The “baby” is definitely very life like, but at the same time completely cold and still. Ambivalence grows in the fascination of the life-like “baby” that simultaneously reminds of death, giving a sensory experience of the phenomenon “The Uncanny Valley”.
The original version is a 6 min. single channel video commissioned by The DANISH ARTS AGENCY and DR DANISH NATIONAL TELEVISION channel K.
