Based on research by Laura Perler, with photographs by Tamara Sánchez Pérez and curatorial direction by Mirko Winkel, this project is concerned with egg donation and reproductive geopolitics. On display are photographs, audio and video material on the social, ethical and economic implications of the reproductive technique.
There are pros and cons, legal regulations and grey areas on the topic of “egg donation”. A broad feminist debate has been lacking so far. Spain is the European leader in assisted reproduction in general and “egg donation” in particular. The project therefore looks into the lives and motives of “egg donors” from Spain, into the laboratories and operating rooms of a reproductive clinic and a recipient who goes abroad from Switzerland for an “egg donation”.
From June 8th – 29th 2022, a first exhibition has been displayed at the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Berlin, accompanied by an extensive workshop and discussion program. In November, it will be displayed in Bern. A look at this reproductive technology is also a look at current social relations and raises complex political questions.
