M.A.
M.A. is a duo portrait of two people, in which the classical elements of portraits are taken to a contemporary representation of a portrait with the enrichment of moving image. The two subjects, the mothers of the artists, are framed and posed as a classical painting to which the fourth dimension, time, has been added. This creates a lively and intense experience of the portraits. The duo portrait of the two mothers depicts two worlds with a tension between similarities and differences in origin, lifestyle, youth and old age, in life and transience.
