We Do Not Bleed, We Can Not Cry, We Must Not Feel

Barbara Kruger - Untitled (Thinking of You) (1999-2000)


'Discredited by modern opinion, love's sentimentality must be assumed by the amorous subject as a powerful transgression which leaves him alone and exposed; by a reversal of values, then, it is this sentimentality which today constitutes love's obscenity.'

From A Lover's Discourse by Roland Barthes
