The project teases visions of procreation that translate the desire for immortality into kinships besides axes of chrono- and anthroponormative intimacy. Through the implementation of own blood extracted with the medical help of my mother and secretly transported over the biopolitical borders at the age of post-covid, the work emerges as a metaphorical act of female heredity, queer childbirth and demonic sacrifice to a lifeless, testing the ambiguity between death drive and transgressive lust. Recreational medicine, vampire lore, queer goth and religious monstrositv. "Sacrifice" is a multilayered sculptural commentary on the substance of blood, it's potential to give and simultaneously take life. The s(t)imullation of vampiric prompts for trans-embodiment of nonnuclear human-nonhuman affiliations and alternative temporal relationships between the one that creates and the one that is being created.
