I love you. I don't love you either

A while ago I accompanied my mom to empty my grandmother’s house. I decided to keep two things: a picture of her as a little girl holding a rifle, and her wedding dress that I was going to marry her in. I remembered that the same day she passed away (10 years ago) I decided to end my relationship with Alejandro. Since then I never fell in love again. People keep getting married. Many women want it and express it as a life goal. No one questions too much where this drive comes from. Marriages are like a movie with a predictable ending, repeated over and over again, with the same script. The photos are always the same, my grandmother’s, my mother’s and my friends’. of my friends. No matter how much time passes. I grew up with movies about princesses who need their prince charming to live, with the fear of being “the spinster of the family”, dreaming of a wedding dress without even having a boyfriend to marry. a boyfriend to marry. Sometimes I feel like I was born with a romantic chip. I would love to know where it is to rip it out. “I Love You. Me neither.” is a project that explores those social, cultural and family mandates that many women carry around love and marriage. It is a dialogue between inheritances from the past and a present that tries to rebel. A conversation with my family through their wedding photographs and my self-portraits. An attempt to break, or at least question, the paradigm of romantic love. . Clipping from a family wedding photo archive.
