In Who is Changed and Who is Dead, Ahndraya Parlato uses the
life-changing events of her mother's suicide and the birth of her
children as the genesis for an expansive project exploring the
contradictory and complex conditions of motherhood. The resulting
image-text book threads the political and historical with the
deeply personal, bringing together narratives from across genres
and generations to create a nuanced and compelling body of work.
Interwoven with her own writings are still lives, sculptures,
photograms made from her mother's ashes, and reenactments of 19th
century 'hidden mother' images. Included amongst these are
Parlato's photographs of her children, who are shown with both a
fidelity to maternal intimacy and a more distanced contemplation.
Within this complexity Parlato strives to find clarity around the
fundamental questions of parenthood, mortality, and gender. Are her
contemporary fears any different than the fears felt by mothers
throughout history? Which anxieties are specific to having female
children? And how is motherhood itself a construction?
