Several Love’s Requests is a performative investigation into men’s erotic and romantic desires, born out of the intersection of online video chats. These sites, programmed to randomly connect people from all over the world, seem to have been colonised and inhabited as modern digital cruises.
Slangs, outbursts, fears, and secrets confided half-heartedly between strangers betray the various requests for love from which emerges the unconscious need for a space of intimate confrontation between males.
Everything here talks about men, but there is no talking among men.
