love is. is a long-term project in collaboration with -p a l m e r a- bergen exploring the role of love in political life. Through poetic interventions into commercial and artistic spaces, love is. questions how love is influenced by capitalism and what love can/can’t/could do within capitalism by way of love poems that take the form of visual installations.

there is an accompanying blog for this project, which can be read here: notes on love

The first of love is. took place on 6 billboards in bergen at the beginning of spring, 2021. 

This second iteration occupied the advertisement section of Bergens Tidende. It showed a love poem in English and its Norwegian translation. The newspaper page was then placed on the window of the gallery, where its presence reflected with the reflections of the street.
