A moving-image and sound collage: an archival cinematic poem inspired by dominant imagistic and narrative trends in pregnancy and motherhood content in our contemporary digital media ecosystem. This historical found-footage piece allows reflection and evocation of a contemporary moment where a deluge of biomedical prescriptions and narrow cultural expectations shape the psychic experience of pregnancy and early motherhood. The film underscores the underbelly of a neoliberal environment where fierce competition, optimization, and unrelenting self-surveillance are normative practice.
BIOLOOP has been screened in small, private venues before official release in Montréal (RRSPQ), London (Bermondsey Project Space), Como (ELO Digital Art Conference), and Oslo (European Network of Psychological Anthropology).
