The Milky Way’s Song is an artwork that arises from the cause-effect relationship between the cry of my newborn and the flow of milk that my breast produces; an inseparable combination that exists for each other. With the leaking drops of milk I’ve recreated cosmic landscapes on black cardboard giving origin to the Milky Way according to classical mythology, in which our galaxy would be born from the milk splashed from Hera's breast while she was nursing Heracles, son of Zeus and the mortal Alcmene.
The installation consists of a video depicting the mother's breast that produces milk thanks to the baby’s crying, a spontaneous and natural request for nourishment of the newborn, together with a series of photographic images created with the milk coming out of the breast itself. The combination of the video and the photographs projected respectively in the center and on the side walls including the vaulted roof allows the viewer to enter the vital cosmos designed by nature.
