no cure for love 2020
During lockdown 2020, I locked myself in isolation with seven smartphones. This pictorial excess pays homage to the love genre par excellence: the love song. Leonard Cohen's Ain't no cure for love kicks off directly in this intimate and transgressive simultaneous session, accompanied by inner body examinations and images of nature.
"The doctors working day and night / But they'll never ever find that cure for love" sings Cohen. In this video, love is poison and a gift. At the same time: unbridled, exciting, dangerous, disgusting, and yet his lips attract the viewer and want to be kissed.
Durante el confinamiento 2020, me aislé con siete smartphones. Este exceso de imágenes rinde homenaje al género amoroso por excelencia: la canción de amor. Ain't no cure for love, da el puntapié inicial a esta íntima y transgresora sesión de simultaneidad, acompañada de revisiones internas del cuerpo e imágenes de la naturaleza.
"The doctors working day and night / But they'll never ever find that cure for love", canta Cohen. El amor es en este vídeo a la vez veneno y regalo: desenfrenado, excitante, peligroso, repugnante y, sin embargo, los labios brillan y quieren ser besados.
