Here Witkamp researches contemporary views on love and sex. While spending a day at her grandparents she got inspired by their lovestory and wondered why such rarely occur nowadays. We have taught ourselves, trough porn and social media, what intimacy should look like. It seems like all we want is fast sex, fast connections simultaneously getting used to objectifying one another.
Witkamp started feeling like dating could go on forever, never to find real affection. Has real feeling gone? Are we still capable of establishing a deeper connection? This project is on investigation those questions.
