A Mother Prepares, 2022
Taking the feminist statement "I am a woman giving birth to myself" into the digital present, Bernice sat still as Yue Han made a 3D scan of her, waited as the 3D image was processed, and responded to the projection of herself on her belly. Bernice, Bernice, Bernice, and Yue Han perform rotations, tilts, shifts, and other micromovements. Bernice testifies that this performance was nothing like actual birth, except maybe for the ambivalence and uncertainty of the process.
