Between July 2015 and March 2017 I interviewed twenty-five unknown people plus myself using a digital camera - a Canon 5D Mark III, fixed on a tripod.
I met couples and individuals at their home or wherever they wanted to meet me. I asked them questions about their relationship: What they think about love, sex, relationship, if they’ve ever cheated, if they’ve been abused, what kind of relationship they are in, how they show their love. Then, I took pictures with a medium format analog camera, a Mamiya II 6x7 inviting the couple or individual to represent themselves and their current relationship in front of the camera. I took ten photographs of each of them.
