The artist discusses the origin and structure of her animation piece Love Story, shown during the 18th Festival, a plot woven by patching up several romantic stories. The Australian-born author contextualizes the work as a part of the investigation she is conducting on distinct narrative forms in literature, cinema and television. On situating the piece within her career, she recounts the transition from the theme of amour fou – the loss of oneself to the other – into what she defines as melodrama, i.e. standardized formats of representing romantic situations which the cultural industry offers us.
