love, sex and relationships
documentary video and photographic project — selected interview extracts
love, sex and relationships is a long-term video and photography project built through intimate conversations with couples and individuals reflecting on love, sex, emotional dependency, intimacy, and human connection.
Developed in London before Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic, the work emerged during a period marked by personal instability and relational violence.
The project combines video interviews, black-and-white analog photography, fragments of writing, reflections, and personal notes. Over 40 hours of conversations were recorded using a Canon 5D Mark III digital camera, later edited into a six-hour video archive. The photographic work was produced separately using a Mamiya 6x7 medium format camera and black-and-white film.
To escape violence, emotional confusion, and a growing sense of helplessness, I began reaching out to couples and individuals for intimate conversations about love.
I interviewed 25 strangers, meeting them in their homes or in spaces where they felt most comfortable.
The project emerged from a need to understand what being in a relationship truly means, and how deeply individuals are able to love, confront, or recognise themselves through connection with others.
Through video, photography, and conversation, the work gradually became not only a documentary archive, but also a process of personal reflection and confrontation.
Participants spoke openly about relationships, desire, separation, loneliness, marriage, identity, vulnerability, love and self-perception. Rather than constructing fixed conclusions about love, the project functions as a fragmented archive of voices, contradictions, emotional structures, and lived experiences.
Over time, the project evolved into an ongoing book project currently in development.
The interviews range from 25 to 50 minutes and were recorded in English with English subtitles.
The project includes:
-
40 hours of recorded interviews
