Inspired by the artist’s uncanny resemblance to her own mother, the poem by Neliigan “Before Two Portraits of My Mother”, and a TV program about cloning techniques starring Dolly the famous sheep. FILIATION seeks to establish a relationship of elements, conveying to the audience feelings of apprehension. Anxiety surrounding when aging meets the fear of becoming a monster. Isn’t watching one’s body as it ages the unbearable reality that the clone will have to face?
