Mother May I?
Description:
While in residence at Western Front, Jeanette Reinhardt, director of Video Out, developed the single-channel video Mother May I? The thirteen-minute video explores the relationship between the artist and two young girls as they navigate a series of passages: a phone conversation, the back alleys of Main Street, and a hedge maze. Through matriarchal and spiritual imagery—emphasized with animated effects—the work considers choice and the forces that shape decision-making.
Video documentation is available upon request.
