A Tongue Called Mother

16mm scanned to digital file, color, 4:3, stereo, BE, 2019, 18’

A Tongue Called Mother depicts the relationship between language, gestures and affiliation. It slowly captures the actions and words of three generations of women in the same family and children learning to read, meditating on words learnt and forgotten through the body.
