TIME is Love is a video art project gathering several artists, and has
traveled to major cities in the world: New York, London, Berlin, Paris,
Seoul…
Preoccupied with love, the project represents love stripped from its
traditional clichés and timeless idealism. Each of the artists leads an
interdisciplinary practice bringing a questioning and a criticism on a
system of relation to others which appears to us as being dying.

Taking these ambivalent feelings as a starting point, the artists develop
their own language according to their sensibility and history. The selected
videos deal with prevented communications, disturbed feelings,
globalisation, memory and spirituality. As a result, each video inspires
the viewer to question the normative understandings of relationships in the
occidental world.
