The event is over
The artist questions in her work the impact of the way in which we choreograph and culturally organize the performance of love through heteronormative structures while playing with the clichés of "rom coms", musical theater, opera, karaoke and Disney.
In her film Live, Laugh, Limerence, through her own experience, she discusses the concept of “Limerence”, that is, falling in love with a person and crystallizing an irrepressible and unrequited romantic feeling. It uses the very gendered decor elements of a hijacked "girl's room" with a wallpaper of queer "memes", thus humorously exposing the pangs of romantic relationships and deconstructing the dominant heteronormative structures.
