Ladies of Love is a story of intertwining motifs of love, work, passion and loneliness…  whose protagonists are nameless strippers, prostitutes, porn stars, day and night, inhabiting the architecture of love. The background to their stories are the bright neon lights piercing the darkness – meretricious interiors and trashy costumes. It is not a new world, it is old and familiar, always somewhere round the corner, in the neighbouring district, close to the railway station. It allures, hypnotizes, tantalizes with colourful packaging, promising everything. The photos in this story have a strictly voyeuristic character but they are also portraits of people as they appeared to be. The whole is completed by fragments of texts – stories heard or sentences remembered, loosely minglinge with the photos. The project is not a documentation of certain people, places and time. It is a general ”story” which, nevertheless, with pictures and words enables each viewer to have his own interpretations and make his own stories accompanied by his personal emotions. Let this story fulfill your fantasies of being a spy in the house of love.
