I Love You

documentation by Dominic Burkart

During the duration of a three course meal, Lauren and I would exchange the phrase, I love you, feed each other, apply lipstick, and mutual grooming. "I love you" was the only phrase we could speak for the entirety of the meal.

I Love you creates tension within the boundaries of restaurant etiquette, and showcases the intimacy within friendship and companionship.

In collaboration with Lauren Schrader performed at Olive Garden in Kansas City, MO, 2015.
