Mammary Mountain
Mammary Mountain is an intimate immersive virtual reality (VR) experience that explores dis-ease within the body and its relationship to the broader context of the land. These pressing themes and social realities are explored through the prism of artist Tara Baoth Mooney’s experience of breast cancer, interwoven with other patients' and survivors' stories of their cancer treatment, recovery and trauma. The work aims to ignite new public engagement, validate survivors’ experiences and inform others, ultimately resulting in a more nuanced and holistic understanding and empathy of the breast cancer treatment experience.
Tara Baoth Mooney is an interdisciplinary artist whose work responds to events past and present that explore lived experience and the inter-relationship of people with daily ritual, plants, nonhuman life forms and objects within their respective ecologies and practice.
