Politics of Love

A digital publication created to accompany the exhibition Politics of Love at Kunsthaus Hamburg in winter 2024. The exhibition explored love as a transformative force for solidarity and connection in times of global crisis.

Featuring works by international artists, it highlighted intimacy, diversity, and collective action. The design of the website mirrors these moments of togetherness und connection by functioning as a network itself, visualizing the content in a conditional navigation structure. Visitors could explore the exhibited works and artists, as well as related events and activations—including an open call for Mail-Art postcards, which brought in over 100 submissions displayed in an interactive carousel.
