Selected Projects
A Lover’s Discourse is an artist film that forms part of an ongoing exploration of dating culture, intimacy, and love within post-digital conditions. The work reflects on the dilemma of contemporary romance—simultaneously captivating and devastating—where emotional intensity coexists with emptiness, reshaping how love and relationships are experienced and understood.
Drawing conceptual inspiration from Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse, the film adopts a fragmented, reflective structure rather than a linear narrative. Voice-over functions as an inner monologue, unfolding alongside symbolic and tactile imagery to trace the protagonist’s shifting emotional states. Love appears not as a stable story, but as a series of thoughts, sensations, and projections that resist coherence.
Set entirely within the confines of a bedroom—an intimate space that belongs solely to the protagonist—the film becomes a site of contemplation and emotional processing. Here, experiences of desire, doubt, and longing are revisited and absorbed, suggesting that transformation does not occur through resolution, but through sustained reflection. In this sense, the work approaches romance as an internal, ongoing negotiation shaped by absence, repetition, and emotional labor.
