Love Language, 2021

Video Installation, Ceramics

​

This work consists of 10 short videos and 6 ceramic objects. 

​

Each video echoes and reacts to a single quote from various controversial erotic movies, the quotes’ emotional and visceral evocations are reflected in the digital image manipulations and soundtracks of the videos. 

 

The videos are presented in loops on screens or as projections. The ceramic objects, also formed in response to a quote, are displayed separately, as a parallel form of representation.

 

The collective visual/audio/material experimentation expresses the symbolic and exploitative aspects of intimacy, desire, and sex, as manifested through experiences of vulnerability, awkwardness, doubt, and shame.
