But to be able to kiss someone you love when you're fully and completely in control of yourself and know who you are. . . it's exquisite. How we love others is affected by how we love ourselves.

The idea was to take fine art and put it into the location of the movie scripts. The script itself is collage - some of the lines come from actual movies and I've written others to make the text work with the found image. In this way, the details of old dead guys' paintings (from the collection of the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, where this work will be exhibited in relation to the historical paintings) become illustrations of the movie scripts. I found this mélange of high art and Hollywood amusing.

They had to draw the body and then at the end of the session for an hour I would take the drape off just to try to reverse their procedure.
