		"Me, my family and I" is a three channel video projection in which I describe the development of myself in the family I was born into to my the family I founded. I experienced my pregnancy as a very intensive time during which I both felt incredibly strong and weak. With the child growing in my womb I felt my motherly strength in- creasing synchronically. The setting of "Me, my family and I" are clouds, representing my sensation of, just like the unborn baby, existing in a bubble outside the ordinary. The protagonists are my Super-Ego represented by a wise mother figure and myself. Both characters are played by myself. The theme of the double persona enables me to express an inward dialogue. The final scene shows myself and my family - the father of my child and my son. It resem- bles a 15th or 16th century painting, yet changes the rules. The naked man holds the unclothed child, while I myself as the protecting mother watch over them wrapped in a blue robe. This pose is held for approximately one minute and radiates the quality of a photograph. "Me, my family and I" shows in a quite extraordinary but accurate way the mood swings between "I can do it with my eyes closed" to "Am I ever gonna make it" between which I was moving during the 9 months of my pregnancy.
