Theater of Love was a 2018 photographic performance work created by artist Amanda Shank in response to Ronald de Sousa’s 1992 essay “Love as Theater.”
It has since expanded into an ongoing creative exploration at the intersection of autobiography and erotic philosophy. Works contain elements of performance, collage, autofiction and portraiture and are currently focused on artist books as a form of temporal literary theater.
