"There is hardly any commentary or representation on the subject of motherhood today. Strangely enough, this fundamental and essential process of change seems to be carefully tucked away in the blind spot of a society that otherwise does not shy away from interventions in the private sphere. One would not suspect a coincidence. Rather a taboo. And that is why the new series by Katharina BOSSE, in which the artist portrays herself with her own children, takes you by surprise, shakes you up, disturbs you. The series 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Mother' marks a turning point in her work, she openly faces her own experiences. Her new, disturbing and challenging series reveals, not without humor and boldness, many facets of an extremely complex and underestimated process: the birth of a mother." (© V. Bouruet-Aubertot)
