In 1977, the artist Wendy Clarke began The Love Tapes series in Los Angeles. In a 10'x10' cubicle that was part recording studio and part confessional, people spoke directly into the camera to share their experiences of love. Developing from Clarke’s own video diaries, the still-ongoing project has expanded to include 2,500 tapes from people around the world. Filmed in museums, prisons, women’s shelters, nursing homes, hospice centers, malls and schools, and broadcast on public television throughout the 80s, The Love Tapes is an archive of feeling, and a communal valentine to ourselves and each other.

The Love Tapes. Directed by Wendy Clarke. In English. Digital Projection. 90 minutes.
