SPECULUM: Mother

Mother is part of the SPECULUM: 10 Characters series, created by the Dutch collective SMACK. Mother is one of the dozens of characters that inhabit SPECULUM, a reinterpretation of Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights. SMACK is a collective formed by Ton Meijdam (Geldermalsen, Netherlands, 1973), Thom Snels (Tilburg, Netherlands, 1978), and Béla Zsigmond (Budapest, Hungary, 1975). This artistic collective uses 3D animation to create figurative videos that explore collective behaviour, digital identity, surveillance culture and the omnipresence of brands.
