This striking gesture at once recalls Magritte's painting The lovers (1928) in which a couple passionately kisses despite their heads being completely covered in cloth. Essential Current Affairs is a depiction of mutual alienation in times that could likewise be characterized as surreal. Their increasing abandon is in response to a mood made steadily more anxious by the brooding melody of a string quartet. Yet they will not remove their masks. If love can not conquer all, is it love? |
