PINK IS A CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE is a photographic installation of a small, surreal landscape constructed with icons of love found in music. These curious knick-knacks of affection are framed in juxtaposition to each other yet bonded by their thematic palette of pink. In an oblique and funny way, each object relates to the representation of love in 12 famous love songs — the water gun bears roots in Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang (My baby shot me down), while Babe, the pink plastic pig stems from Cher’s I got you Babe.
