‘Love, Sex and Relationships’ is a series of portraits and videos, which include questions to myself, to couples and to individuals who are, or were, in love, sex and relationships. Through interviews, I entered an intimate space of memories, thoughts and feelings. I invited the people to represent themselves to the camera, any way they wished. Traditionally, a photographer searches for telling images of his or her subject. My approach has been, rather, to find out how the subjects of my project might portray themselves. I wanted to explore what it is like for others to be in a relationship. What is Love? What is Sex? What is a Relationship? Do you love yourself? Does education, culture, religion confuse us? What do we fear? Are we free? I began this project in July 2015, while I was in a nine month abusive relationship. I didn’t love myself. I used the photographic process as a therapeutic tool, that helped me to understand that what I was missing was, indeed, self-love. I interviewed each individual or couple, and made video and sound recordings of our conversations — in which I asked them the same questions, collecting more than 40 hours of conversations and pictures. I was there to listen. Website: https://www.loredanadenicola.com/ Email. loredenicola@gmail.com Website: https://www.loredanadenicola.com/ Email. loredenicola@gmail.com

Love, Sex & Relationships is a collection of conversations between myself and others. It is a video and photography documentation project, that includes questions to myself, to couples and to individuals, who are or were in love, sex and relationships. I collected 40 hours of interviews that I used to create a video documentation (of six hours), photographs and a photography book. I began the project in July 2015, while I was in a nine month, abusive relationship. Nothing was planned. Simply, I went to their home, introduced myself and my video photography project, put the camera on a tripod, pushed record. I interviewed them individually, asking them the same questions I was asking myself at that time : What is Love? What is Sex? What is a Relationships? Do you love yourself? A photography book is ready (dummy).I am planning to produce a limited edition print off-set. If you would like find out more about the project or photography book please get in touch with me!
