This book documents an evolving work of conceptual art about the mother-child relationship begun by Mary Kelly during the 70s and exhibited in the 70s & 80s as an installation, with photographs and analyses of the material evidence of her baby’s transition from infancy to the beginnings of independence. It introduced an interrogation of subjectivity by using psychoanalytic theory and focusing on the construction of material femininity.
Essay’s include a foreward by Lucy Lippard, Jo-Anna Isaak, Paul Smith and a review by Laura Mulvey.
