iMom, 愛(ai)Baby explores maternal love in its most absolute form — a love so intense it erases the boundary between mother and child.
The child becomes an image, a projection, a cellular and technological extension of the mother.
The title plays on the ambiguity between 「愛」 (ai) — love — and A.I., artificial intelligence:
“I, mother, love my child.” / “A mother loving an artificial intelligence.”
“The mother no longer awaits a child, but a package;
every notification becomes an ultrasound,
every delivery a birth.
The womb merges with the shopping cart.”
The performance is conceived as an autonomous scene : a continuous, self-contained action.
I imagine my performances as “scenes of life,” sometimes “domestic scenes,” re-enacting specific emotions and situations imposed upon the viewer.
They are constructed emotional spaces where dramaturgy and spatiality are as essential as gesture.
Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by electronic household objects : functional, beautiful, and strangely intimate.
I like to subvert them, to give them new meaning, to let them speak about the world we live in.
Their obsolescence, driven by over-performance and endless updates — makes them symbols of our relationship to progress and dependency.
The idea of comfort is central to my work :
Today, comfort has become a standard imposed by technology. Our bodies and minds conform to devices and interfaces without even noticing. From home appliances to smartphones, these systems shape how we live, think, and feel.
This tension between comfort and dependence, technology and flesh is what I seek to make visible, almost tangible, through performance.
