"What's your lover's language?" is a positive and tender question that conveys curiosity, desire and love. It reveals a longing for adventure, discovery and experiences that excite and rejoice our senses. This question assumes that love has multiple expressions and is limitless. It embodies the essence of romance - a world of dreams, sensual experiences, interpersonal relationships and our connection to the world around us. But what does language actually mean? In general, it encompasses a variety of ways of communicating. Besides spoken and written words, facial expressions and gestures can also serve as a means of communication. We live in an era of global interconnectedness, characterised by the pursuit of universal understanding, while at the same time holding on to our familiar habits. Despite the challenges we face, the conflict between the desire for the foreign, the allure of the unknown, and the simultaneous longing for closeness and intimacy is as old as humanity itself. Modern solutions do not lie in either/or, but in the art of uniting the two. In Romanticism we find motifs from nature and travel, immersion in our own emotional worlds, fantastic beings and dream images. Through its ability to harmonise apparent contradictions, Romanticism has inspired and influenced the Western world and beyond. The exhibition "What's your Lover's Language?" brings together six contemporary artistic viewpoints in a group show that tell stories about community, individuality and reflection in abstract-spatial and figurative ways. In doing so, they playfully revolve around the question of how understanding becomes possible. Somewhere between camp culture and Tinder, between the Blue Flower and the Rainbow, they explore the possibility of creating closeness through images. It is about translating new narratives about human togetherness into reality and uniting the communal with the individual in harmony.
