Incubator for Another Time

Stella, Milou and Reed, Lizzie (2023) Incubator for Another Time.

Abstract

Incubator for Another Time is the result of a series of collaborations with musicians, artists, and the queer sociologist Dr Lizzie Reed. Embedded in this installation are the artist's experience of infertility and IVF treatment, the use of technology to question notions surrounding the 'family unit' and the images that power its formation. Part of a larger multimodal artistic exploration, this installation zooms into the concept of reproduction as both a process and a social, cultural, biological phenomenon. It draws from ideas from texts such as 'Staying the Trouble' by Donna Harraway, Xenofeminism and queer methodologies as a research approach.

By immersing oneself in this temporary, expansive kinship system, Incubator for Another Time becomes a site in which viewers are encouraged to contemplate, interrogate and initiate relationships beyond the confines of desire hierarchies perpetuated by traditional heterosexual relationships.

Through the act of collecting, discarding and revisting existing perspectives, this work positions itself as an ongoing project, one that remains open to the possibilities of radical recomposition in the future. It beckons viewers to engage in critical reflection and actively particpate in shaping the evolving narrative.
