MATERNAL FANTASIES’ The First Supper at Tavros Solidarity School, Athens, Greece, November 2024
Inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, MATERNAL FANTASIES and the participants reinterpret the image in a tableau vivant featuring women, children, and fantastical creatures in a celebration of life and connection across generations. To temporarily expand this colorful community, all participants are invited to “bring along” a real or fictional person from the past, present, or future with whom they have a special and formative connection in the form of a short anecdote and an object that reminds them of this person and could be incorporated into The First Supper scene.
The final performance in tableaux vivant style was captured on camera and video and incorporated into the serial photo/video work of the artist group MATERNAL FANTASIES.
