More information
Brotherus arbetade med serien "Das Mädchen sprach von Liebe" under åren 1997-1999. Hon har beskrivit arbetet med sviten på följande sätt:
"I do believe in the profound 'sameness' of human beings. People die and new ones are born; people fall in love and they separate. In every person's life there are both large and small tragedies, much and little happiness; there are emotions and needs. That is why fragments from my life might seem familiar to others as well. In a way I provide the viewers with a blank screen, a surface on which to project their own feelings and desires. Most often my work deals with love and its side-effects; the absence or presence of it in its different forms."
