Many lovers? How to manage the schedule?

All the films in « Polyamory Series »

The Polyamory series consists of very short films that challenge assumptions about love. These are graphic works linked to synthetic texts, with scientific or testimonial value.

Love is a subject that is as much overused as it is little questioned in its foundations, even by philosophy. We often end up confusing love and passion, love and jealousy, love and possession… The question of love relationships is one of my subjects of research and documentation: reading numerous authors and direct exchanges with some (ethnologists, anthropologists, psychologists, sociologists, neurologists, philosophers, artists), multiple lived experiences, collection of testimonies.

Today, love relationships are mainly associated with the dogma of the monogamous couple, regardless of sexual preference. It is clear that this model is failing in some way. The reality is much more complex, everyone knows it, lives it, in their emotions, in their experiences, whether they are assumed or not. How can we question and deconstruct what turns out to be an ideology, which often locks us unconsciously into a lie about ourselves and blocks our fulfilment? How can we cultivate loving relationships that are ethical, generous, honest, deep, lasting and joyful?
