ALL WE HAVE IS LOVE, 2009
Animation
Duration: 2.20

“All We Have Is Love” is another of Maetamm’s pieces exploring marital boundaries. The somewhat clinical, animated cut-outs perform the physical act of love, instigated by Maetamm and resulting in his wife shifting away from him post-copulation. As with many of his works, there is the accompanying repetitive audio, which builds the sensorial base. In this case it is the unabating rubbing and smacking. The viewer is suspended between the immediate humour of the jolting figures, and a state of unease being confronted by the heavily graphic imagery.
