Home Gym c-print, 2010 Experimental Relationship (2007- Now) As a woman, I used to think I could only fall in love with someone that I adored, who was more mature than me, older than me, a protector, a mentor. Then I met my boyfriend, Moro, who is 5 years younger than me. I felt the whole relationship changed all the way around. I become the person with more authority and power. When I told a male friend about my new relationship, he said, “How could you choose a boyfriend the way we choose a girlfriend?!” and I thought "Damn right. That’s exactly what I’m doing, & why not?!" I have always doubted the stereotype of a man-woman relationship. Why should a couple be a man and a woman? Why does man have to be a certain way? Why should woman be a certain way? I feel relationships are far more complicated and always changing, with lots of possibilities. So I began to think about the meaning of this relationship and experiment with it. |
