“A collaborative book project based on romance novels, 2009 -
In this project, each book is individually fabricated by a select group of artist. The interpretations of “love” are concealed and superficially homogenized under the guise of romance novels installed on a bookshelf. The viewer is encouraged to participate by flipping through the catalogue, picking a book, sitting on a provided comfortable chair and immersing themselves with the object of affection. These objects are united in the most beautiful, yet complex and so easily misunderstood thing called love.”
