WHAT IS LOVELY TO YOU?

A 'Love Shrine' by Belén Arellano Cañizares and Maria Obermeier

‘Love Shrine’ a project by Belén Arellano Cañizares and Maria Obermeier at 11m3 Projektraum

As the closing ritual of our semester program, we want to invite you to the creation of a communal Shrine devoted to Love. Belén Arellano Cañizares and Maria Obermeier's backgrounds are familiar with the semiotics of the catholic church and its symbols.

Shrines are spaces of great intimacy, both domestic and private but also public and shared in their construction. They are ruled by unspoken agreements like the one of leaving objects like offerings, and sharing the care work for the place (take for example the use of candles: they need to be lit again and again).

This love shrine will no longer be in the context of a doctrine but performs its own language and offers the opportunity to enjoy love messages in the daily routine. By showing loved objects and sharing them with strangers, Maria and Belén want to empower humans to show their need for love in contexts that are not considered private.
