Some Things About Love

Kezzyn less pays homage to Klimt’s The Kiss than weaponizes it in Some Things About Love; the leading couple trade gold foil for neon rags and flowers underfoot for a halo of disinterested relatives. Forms of media from magic washing-buckets to tablet computers form a quaternary arc around the scene, absorbing equally the attention of potential onlookers and carving out a bubble of sacred space which man and woman entangled fill with a glow that these lesser diversions cannot match. Subtle golden flowers creep up the background wallpaper, completing a stirring reminder that diversion from the most important things in life, an eternally recurring trap, captures only those who aren’t partaking of them.
