LONG TIME NO SLEEP

In this work the artist talks about love relationships with women, starting with her mother. A bed set in the middle of the space, explores the qualities of it as a place of birth, love, sex, loneliness and death. Surrounded by 3 small TVs that shows stories of love, drama and porn & politics, the visitants are invited to lie down on the bed and choose the story they want to watch.

In this work, the artist reflects on the significant love relationships she has had with women throughout her life, beginning with her mother, who represents her first and greatest love. This intimate exploration is deeply rooted in the context of the queer feminist movement, which informs the artist’s perspective on love, identity, and connection. The 3 videos delve into the complexities of love between women, emphasizing the importance of these relationships in shaping both personal and collective experiences. The narrative traces the profound influence of these connections, highlighting the emotional depth and enduring impact they have had on the artist’s life. Through this lens, it not only celebrates the bonds that define a woman’s life but also resonates as a broader commentary on the power and significance of queer love and feminist solidarity.
