1 Minute of #Love

Dealing with digital photography and appropriation art this work is about copyright, authorship and photography in the age of social media platforms. With more than 696 million posts (July 2015) and an average amount of 27,2 posted pictures per second #love is the most used hashtag on Instagram. Within this project I appropriated all photos which got tagged with #love in one single minute. The outcome is one big artwork which consists of 1632 pictures. Cute pets, snapshots of babies, memories of vacations, self portraits and all different kind of goods are going hand in hand with porn photography, glorification of violence and semi naked teenagers. This is how love can be displayed in one irrevocable minute of time.
