Roland Barthes’s “Fragments d’un discours amoureux” was published in Paris in 1977 by Editions du Seuil and was translated in an English edition in 1978. The book comprises 80 chapters or “fragments” the language of love. In the spring of 2009, Chicago-based artist Keith Bringe conceived of a project that would interpret “A Lover’s Discourse” through 80 constructions - assembled shadow boxes.
