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.
