I Make Love Not War (at High Tide)

In the video performance Making Love in High Tide, the action takes place on the shore of the sea in Normandy. The artist, dressed in underwear, shoots arrows at an anti-war slogan from the 1960s, "make love not war," made of balloons. Throughout the video, we witness the artist's struggle against the words and her unsuccessful attempts *to destroy* the slogan. It all comes across as a failure, with water rising as she persistently battles with the word "MAKE," forgetting the importance of the last word, "WAR," as the tide begins to come in. This anti-war performance is both captivating and poetic, reflecting on the inefficacy of anti-war art in times of conflict.
