Mon amour,

Although Roland Barthes had no luck in the love department, he dedicated one of its most unique texts to that topic.
Since its publication, A Lover's Discourse. Fragments has been bedside book and companion of lovers worldwide. It is also the starting point of this small tribute organized by La ONG Buenos Aires on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the French author.
Barthes wrote that the book would be, ideally, a cooperative –"To the United Readers and Lovers"). This website aspires to be something similar.
Barthes, mon amour includes 80 works by artists who kindly accepted our invitation. Through the proposals, you can navigate and build your own itinerary of the emotions and desires of the invited artists.
The platform randomly links each work with one of the fragments that make up the book. This playful connection allows the reinterpretation of the proposals and the texts with each visit, offering new readings all the time.
For Barthes, every love letter awaits for a response, invites the other to answer. With this one, we invite you to share your visit through social media or e-mail. You can also contact us here laongbuenosaires@gmail.com.

Love,

La ONG Buenos Aires
