The text is printed on circular strips, held with grommets, which fold out to form a bowl.
Translation from the German:
when it happens to us, we notice it instantly.
then she can take us gently in her arms,
envelop us and create a smile in our faces.
at the same time, we can‘t control it. it can hurt.
when i love, i risk myself.
HIN LIEBEN WEG LIEBEN is an artbook about love.
The book gives the reader two poems. One poem is about falling in love, the other poem is
when love ends. The poems face each other and yet cannot be read at the same time. When
one poem is unfolded, the book grows into the shape of a semicircle or helmet. The inside of
the book abstractly depicts the brain waves that occur when falling in love and falling out of
love.
