| Expecting
September 2002 In the future, children don’t make friends, they give birth to them. So, what happens when a child’s fantasy of a living, breathing doll becomes a reality? Meet Charlotte, an 8 year old girl. With a squeeze of her teddy bear, she gives birth to a playmate. Expecting blends the real, the virtual and the not too
distant future to examine the very contemporary notions of isolation and
detachment. In an environment that appears nurturing, yet is ultimately
controlling and lonely, a child’s body combines with a teddy bear
to become a baby-making appliance. Your interaction with Charlotte does
not serve to liberate her. Despite your best intentions, you can only
perpetuate her disengagement with the social world. + + + + + + + + + + + + + top
