By creating a candy, I realized that both nursing a baby and manufacturing a candy are handwork.  Lactoland postulates a scenario in which any person qualified to do so can pump milk and make it available to others. Producing, and particularly processing, human milk is recognized as work that creates value. The candy in this setting helps to situate oneself. Through my staging, I detach myself from the prevailing ideas, stirring up and superimposing on gender-specific norms. I have the viewers of the pumping person come so close that the work and effort expended in pumping become understandable and consumable by means of the candy.
