Love will definitely—
Most likely,
Quite brutally—
Will Tear us apart.
It might not come from the kind of romantic love
We share with our partners,
but perhaps from the love we have
for the people we don’t live with,
or the art we don’t live from,
or the songs we can’t sing,
or the immense world you keep inside,
that cant find a way out to become materialised.
But one day,
Love will definitely—
Most likely,
Quite brutally—
Will Tear us apart
Disclosures, 1982
As quoted on the Modern Contemporary Art Australia website:
“Julie Rrap: Past Continuous features the artist's landmark installation Disclosures: A Photographic Construct (1982) from the MCA Collection, as well as new and recent works using the artist's body 42 years later. Since Disclosures, Rrap has used the camera as a powerful feminist tool to give agency to the model (often herself) as both the object and subject of her works.
In recent years, Rrap has reflected on the invisibility of the aging female body and how we look or look away when confronted by certain bodies. New works in the exhibition consider the body through time, addressing both its strengths and vulnerabilities.”
