In this two channel video installation, I draw from my experience as a young mother to investigate which shapes care work might look like. Presenting myself bouncing on a ball, I try to execute mundane tasks with my baby strapped to my chest. In the juxtaposed video, I feed her facing the viewer. The domestic scene is staged in a playful way, however the repetitive bouncing of the ball and the multiplication of the body suggests an uneasiness and opens the questions of labour: The videos are accompanied by excerpts of text messages: excuses, confessions and desperate jokes sent during desperate nights, they reveal the conflicting demands of early motherhood and the loss of self.
