“…To bear the deception of this dream.”

—Jacques Rancière

In Girls, Visions, and Everything, the novelist Sarah Schulman writes, “Remember, when your heart is breaking, write it down. When a relationship is over, what do you have? You have nothing. But if you write it down, you have material. That’s the best a girl can hope for in these troubled times.”

A modern-day fin’amor, Like Someone in Love is Masha Tupitsyn’s addendum to her multi-media love manifesto, Love Dog. Written during the summer of 2013, and set in the French countryside, the origin of courtly love, Tupitsyn’s visual hybrid essay borrows from the Medieval troubadours to create a modern-day digital-compendium of text, image, and sound that explores feminine identity, erotics, chivalry, emotional excess, and crisis masculinity.
