THE KISSING AGREEMENT

Year: 2019
Size: 76,8 x 113,6 cm / 30.2 x 44.7 in
Materials: Acrylic, marker, spray paint on reused wood

The Kissing Agreement explores consent, mutual desire, and the boundaries of intimacy in a direct yet playful way. By presenting a formal-looking contract before a simple act like a kiss, the work emphasizes clarity, mutual respect, and awareness of motivation. It reframes an everyday intimate moment in a legalistic, almost theatrical context, prompting viewers to reflect on communication, consent, and personal boundaries in human relationships. Balancing seriousness with humor, it challenges us to consider how we structure and understand intimacy.

The Kissing Agreement untersucht Zustimmung, gegenseitiges Verlangen und die Grenzen der Intimität auf direkte, aber verspielte Weise. Indem ein formal wirkender Vertrag vor einer einfachen Handlung wie einem Kuss präsentiert wird, betont das Werk Klarheit, gegenseitigen Respekt und Bewusstsein für die Motivation. Es setzt einen alltäglichen intimen Moment in einen legalistischen, fast theatralischen Kontext und regt die Betrachter dazu an, über Kommunikation, Zustimmung und persönliche Grenzen in menschlichen Beziehungen nachzudenken. Durch die Balance von Ernsthaftigkeit und Humor fordert es uns heraus, darüber nachzudenken, wie wir Intimität strukturieren und verstehen.

The Kissing Agreement onderzoekt toestemming, wederzijds verlangen en de grenzen van intimiteit op een directe maar speelse manier. Door een formeel ogend contract te presenteren vóór een simpele handeling zoals een kus, benadrukt het werk duidelijkheid, wederzijds respect en bewustzijn van motivatie. Het herkadert een alledaags intiem moment in een legalistische, bijna theatrale context en zet de kijker aan tot nadenken over communicatie, toestemming en persoonlijke grenzen in menselijke relaties. Het balanceert ernst met humor en daagt ons uit om te overdenken hoe we intimiteit structureren en begrijpen.

En équilibrant sérieux et humour, elle nous invite à considérer comment nous structurons et comprenons l’intimité.
