I do not think I've ever seen works by Nino Vichan before, but in that high-class show one work touched me enormously:
We
see a birth
scene. Among the sculptures
appear
again
and again photos. The arms and legs of the women are held by men with chains and shackles. A birth is a brutally painful, even violent and dangerous procedure for both mother and child. Immediately came up strong memories. But I was really shocked when I read the note card. In many states of US it is still common practice to
leave pregnant prisoners in
chains and
shackles. Giving birth is for sure the weakest moment in a woman’s life, certainly no risk to escape. This practice is an inhumane and unnecessary torture, which also makes a birth even more risky. Nino Vichan has created a great and expressive work.
Today, on 29 September at 3 PM is the opening. The exhibition will be on display for three months.
