Gegen >< Love 


Concept ︎






“baking is love, sanella is baking”

This is the claim of a famous mass-consumption margarine in Germany and this concept has to deal with the natures of such a complex concept which is LOVE. Its imaginary, in western hetero and now homonormative societies is a social construction. It is the perfect stage to sell products by feeling part of its “natural” institution which is family. Therefore, the “authenticity” of love is granted by its “basic” social unit. GEGEN LOVE is here to dance its negative dialectics. GEGEN is a polyamorous event where the institutionalized idea of love is prismatic. It becomes a one heart-vagina-ass-mouth-gland pulsating organ; an unresolved rubik cube of possible variations in which all normativities and identities are collapsing in an emotional celebration. Take off your cynic masks. Bake your own body and mind to a cannibal buffet. Kiss a stranger. Make acts of senseless beauty. We are hungry for love and we want to radiate it in free radical cells. Where love is GEGEN, GEGEN is LOVE.

3. Hang up your sweater/ pullover on a coat-hanger and put your jacket/ overcoat over it. Please DO NOT CRAM anything into the sleeves!

4. Please store your valuables safely and make sure you close all pockets on your garments well. Please also zip, button, etc. your jacket/ overcoat on the hanger, so it won't fall off it.
