Inside the House of neverlasting LOVE
Inside the House of Neverlasting 𝐿𝒪𝒱𝐸! takes a performative approach in expressing Lena Kuzmich’s personal struggles with how our normative society has forced women to sexualize themselves in hopes of receiving love. In her work she explores tensions between the criticism on hyper sexualization and the breaking of the taboos of sexuality. The four chapters in her film document the journey of taking ownership of your own body without condition. As the main character walks through the plot she searches for fundamental love and appreciation but instead gets met with an objectifying gaze, leaving her feeling empty. Ultimately her quest takes her back to childhood to experience the warmth of naivety. Lena Kuzmich tells the story of her pursuit for love, highlighting the search for one’s own identity freed from role models, whilst gaining liberty from these same figures.
