Katharina Klapdor, Hermann Dornhege, Claudia Grönebaum Love is a stranger?
The world is getting smaller and smaller, open for people to traverse and explore at will, always with the option of direct communication. And love is becoming "globalized" right along with everything else. Couples can find one another anywhere and embark on the adventure of a modern relationship: love that's simply part of everyday life, regardless of geographic boundaries. But which of the two cultures then sets the tone in these cross-cultural relationships?The photographs in the exhibition project Love is a stranger? reveal the realities, dreams and utopias of today's global love stories. As we view these images of bicultural couples, seen both close-up and at a distance, with self-staged scenes and sometimes hazy, other times dreamlike images, one question deliberately remains open: Who and what is strange here? Perusing the text fragments, excerpts from interviews, and a special dictionary, we form an impression of the semantics governing romantic twosomes in our modern world. This will be part of the possible answers to the question for which there are no wrong answers: What is the truth about love between two people?
