i Løv€ y•U

Spain / 2026 / 2'

Plot

I love you (2026) draws on Eadweard Muybridge’s study Animals in Motion, conducted between 1872 and 1885. The image is entirely reconstructed through the repetition of the character sequence «i LØV€€€ y•U» in ASCII format, proposing the human gaze as a categorical construction of signs to be deconstructed. This parallel highlights the urgency of questioning the boundaries of our relationship with the non-human and the need to develop new ways of seeing and relating to animals.
