Anna Ting Möller: BAD CARE takes its title from the Swedish word for bathtub — badkar — as a site for contemplating caregiving structures, reproductive logics, and the continual labor of suturing the self. The central sculpture In Tandem suspends two abstracted, fleshy forms covered in SCOBY — a living kombucha culture gifted to Möller in China in 2015 — within a misting system that keeps it continually alive. The SCOBY, itself called a "mother," becomes a feral living archive that complicates biological origin, offering instead a communal, shareable form of kinship. A three-channel video essay chronicles Möller's travels through China, layering English, Swedish, and Chinese into a multivocal meditation on diasporic selfhood and the pursuit of connection.
