Lauren Karplus’s portrait and story installation Was ist Liebe/What is Love?  German-American Relations(hips) explores the relationships between nine different transnational German/American couples.  What qualities do we look for in a partner?  To what extent do our cultures of origin influence our relationships?  What unique challenges might these transnational couples face?  This exhibit attempts to explore the funny, unexpected, and intimate ways we love, as told by the couples themselves.
