Madonna’s Incredible NFT Animation: An Erotic Ode to Motherhood

At over 60, Madonna defies her time by lending herself, in total nudity but in computer-generated images, to several sequences dedicated to the celebration of life. In collaboration with Beeple, the man of all NFT records.

There are works which, barely unveiled, instantly go down in history. This was the case for the clip Thriller by Michael Jackson, the movie Star Wars or the album Sgt Pepper’s of the Beatles. Suddenly, the clocks are reset and a new standard of artistic quality is set.

This feat is what Madonna has just accomplished with Mother of Creation, a triptych of animations in synthetic images. The artist who produced this incredible fresco dedicated to creation, to nature but also to motherhood is none other than Beeple, or Mike Winkelmann in civilian life, the artist of all records in matter of NFT. Two of his works feature in the elite of NFT auctions: on the one hand HumanOnebut above all Everydayswhich is the highest-selling NFT work to date, selling $69.3 million at Christies on March 11, 2021.

A work whose gestation took a year

Madonna and Beeple worked in the greatest secrecy for a year to the three animations centered around the singer :

1. Mother of Creation;
2. Mother of Nature;
3. Mother of Evolution.

True to form, the singer does not hesitate to openly flirt with a subtle form of provocation. Thus, two of the videos start with close-ups on the vagina of the artist, from which we see butterflies or vegetation emerging, depending on the case. And from one end of each clip to the other, the artist is represented in complete nudity, certainly in computer-generated images but with an assumed eroticism, with however the parade that this body is in harmony with the environment, nature and therefore represents a celebration of life and creation. While the extraordinary animated images produced by Beeple parade in settings of immense sophistication, Madonna declaims odes to the beauty of creation.

An ode to Nature with a little, a lot of provocation…

By such an exhibition, Madonna knows very well that she risks offending the leagues of virtues who could see in such an achievement only an attack on morality. At the same time, it affirms an implicit integration into the aesthetics and richness of nature. ” When I started this collaboration with Mike, I was excited about the opportunity to share my worldview as a mother and as an artist with Mike’s unique point of view. This construction has been a fascinating journey, from an intellectual point of view to an emotional story, giving birth to an art. I wanted to investigate the concept of creation, not just how a child enters the world through a woman’s vagina, but also how an artist gives birth to creativity. »

By the way, Madonna reaffirms that she is more than ever in theair time, thus associating its image with the world of NFTs. Moreover, already the effigy of the artist on Twitter was a representation of itself in the form of Bored Apethose famous jaded monkey NFTs.

For sale on SuperRare, but for humanitarian purposes

Available in the form of NFT, these three works will be on sale from May 11, 2022 on the platform SuperRare. And to the extent that the Warner record company has invested in the metaverse The Sandbox, we can expect a major promotion in this parallel world. Madonna announces in passing that the profits from this sale will be donated to three charitable foundations, linked to the defense of women subject to violence like that of the children of Ukraine.
