What Time is Love?

Michael Franz, Inka Meißner

In 2021, the study "The rise and fall of rationality in language" was published. In the face of the so-called "post-truth" era, a language analysis of various text forms is used to describe and examine the change from a rationally oriented language to one in which emotion is at the centre. Inka Meißner's texts deal with these positivist insights in an experimental way, incorporating them into a daily form of writing that is shaped by an engagement with experimental literary movements of the last 50 years as well as by an examination of writing as an artistic practice.

Michael Franz's drawings are less about the resulting artefact as an aesthetic object than about the drawing as a carrier of information, as a "record" of everyday systemic and technological shifts.
In What Time is Love?, these two attempts to address the tendencies towards derealisation in our time come together without comment, in a kind of diary without beginning or end.
