The first appointment of the DIVERSIONS VOL. II, 24 January, is curated by Parsec and will feature the film Oceano de amor by Alexa Karolinski and Ingo Niermann (the Army of Love). On 2 February, on the occasion of Art City, there will be a repeat screening.
Oceano de amor (HD film, 95 minutes, 2019) is a docu-fiction produced in Cuba as part of the Army of Love project. It features ten volunteer members of the Army of Love as they go about their daily activities and answer questions about love and work. Here, in one of the few remaining socialist countries, the community members describe an automated future in which distributing love will be the only form of work. Together they imagine a society in which everyoneə can give and receive love according to their needs, regardless of their bodies’ conformity to orthodox standards of desirability and beauty.

The Army of Love is a community of solidarity that offers training, recruitment, discussions and testimonial videos to promote the redistribution of sensual love to allə who need it. Among its various activities, the Army of Love has produced a number of films exploring how romantic love has become saturated with commodification.
