‘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
