Ways of Love researches, investigates and formulates a language of two authors with different formal backgrounds and experiences. They meet through common themes and a common working process that investigates the dialectics of this particular creative collaboration. The process and the product centre on the intimacy created in this particular encounter. The central theme revolves around violence, which in the process is perceived as the only possible articulation of longings for love, lust, dissection and loss of bodily fetters. By bringing the violence and desire behind it into consciousness, two possible ways of resolution open up. The first is the way of 'purification'/catharsis through pain and the second through laughter and self-irony.
