In “You won’t escape my love” Lucile Risch examines different aspects of relationships. For the last two years, she has been asking friends, couples, brother and sisters, parents and their children to take part in a photo shoot. She asks them to express their first reaction to “You won’t escape my love”. (She transferred the photos into video-projection).

By hearing “You won’t escape my love” many questions come to mind, such as “what is your feeling” and “what is your attitude”, but won’t be spoken. Nevertheless these thoughts rule the natural game between the persons. It depicts the inherent interactions in a relation.

“You won’t escape my love” is a selection of 260 slides: for a photo-series and a video projection.
