Åsa Cederqvist
In collaboration with her five-year old daughter and mother who has Parkinson’s disease, the visual artist Åsa Cederqvist has staged a world under constant construction. Mama Dada Gaga plays with reality and fiction, questioning the expectations of motherhood and the role of women. A recurring sequence in Mama Dada Gaga is birth and the transformation and the transition from one state to another. The sculptures in the film form set-design elements for the rituals of play and themselves express these different states of transformation, just like the film’s three main characters. This film suggests multi-layered storytelling –– between parenthood and childhood, symbiosis and separation, hubris and crisis, life and death.
