Love-22-Love

Driven by a desire to confront his demons, artist Jeroen Kooijmans’ Love-22-Love is an ode to art, his love for his wife and the darker corners of his psyche.

In 2002, artist Jeroen Kooijmans wakes up in the psychiatric ward of a hospital in New York. He has been admitted following a psychotic episode. In the intimate debut documentary Love-22-Love, Kooijmans reconstructs the period leading up to this event and the long journey he embarked on in the years that followed. He does so through videos he made of himself and his beloved. Love-22-Love shows Kooijmans in his most exposed and vulnerable state, both in art and in love.
