Re-Assembling Motherhood(s) (working title) is an experimental essay film by Maternal Fantasies and deals with a contemporary, poetic construction of the discourse on motherhood(s) in cinematic form. In the same way, as it is necessary to question how "society" and similar collective images have their effect on the perception of lifelike themes (see Bruno Latour, Reassembling the Social), the concept of the motherhood needs to be freed from the corset of generalization. Starting material for the experimental essay film are the collectively produced video and sound recordings, performances and texts by maternal fantasies around the thematic field of (maternal) CARE, realized within the framework of the Arthur-Boskamp Förderpreis 2019/20.
The film scenes performed in collaboration with our 12 children - tableaux vivants and play scenes - are to be expanded from January 2020 onwards by the maternal fantasies group.
