“Breastfeeding”

Video performance

The video unfolds in two scenes, both centred around the act of breastfeeding. However, instead of a child, the woman cradles two books: Contemporary Art: A Concise History by Michael Archer, and The Story of Art by E.H. Gombrich. Notably, the latter includes only a single mention of a woman artist. Through this gesture, the work challenges the patriarchal foundations of art history, questioning who is nurtured by these narratives—and who is left out.
