I really loved this video work by Taiwanese artist Tseng Yu-Chin, a single take of a mother interacting with kisses and tenderness toward her three-year-old son. It rode the line between what is OK in society and what is forbidden, being too physically close to one’s child, especially between opposite sexes. I’ve done work with this issue in the past, and find viewers have a hard time talking about that intense bond. Now I’m interested in the breaking of that bond, having to distance myself from sons who are growing older. I’m considering another artwork dealing with this issue.
