Different Kinds of Love

This project explores stories about love through letters, mythology, historical events, literature, and also personal recollections in a fun “new music as folk music” format.

The Hohenzollern Bridge in Cologne, Germany is one of many visual represenations of love stories. What about stories about love? Stories that explore how love is action in practice, respect, guardianship, friendship, hope, and it is present in our daily lives.

When the battery in my watch died, I still wore it. There was something about the watch that said: It doesn’t matter what time it is. Think in months. Years. Someone loves you. Where are you going? There are some things you will never do. It doesn’t matter. There is no rush. Be the best prisoner you can be.
