Genesis en Gevolg

(Genesis and effect) - 2019

I started a research in what family means and what form it can take. Making puppets that each represent a family member. The roles can be assigned by the viewer itself. Can a lifeless surrogate also serve the same purpose as a real family member?

The term family has a different meaning and function to everyone. For me it has a warm and comfortable feeling, like a hug. At the same time, family forms a boundary to the outside world, closing itself for non-family members. I wanted to show these two sides of the story in this installation of the dolls.
