The Stages of Newborn Poop
Every day expecting couples are bombarded with information on how to be pregnant, give birth, and take care of a new baby. The Stages of Newborn Poop was inspired by a series of informational videos on newborn bowel movements on YouTube. Performed as character Nancy Kieler, it satirized the latest commercial devices advertised to make parenting as easy and convenient as possible. As Nancy presented her business savvy creations, she also revealed her own fear of becoming a new mother.
Performed in the University of Michigan Duderstadt Video Studio and at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD), January, 2014. I was 9 months pregnant at the time.
