The Geography of Love, started 2015
The Geography of Love is an ongoing project inviting us to plot on one map all the people we love or loved, and on another to acknowledge the 7 billion+ others whom we (presumably) do not love. In addition to requiring each participant to define for themselves the cultural, contextual, and subjective term “love,” the act of mapping love hopes to help us visualize the geographical limits of our emotions and, therefore, of our capacity for empathy. In its participatory variations, the project also questions the often convenient common conception of love as fate-based when it might have a lot more to do with other factors such as time, geography and perhaps even choice.
