He loves me, he loves me not is a game of French origin in which one person seeks to determine whether the object of their affection returns that affection. The action was made in Dehua (China) with 167 handmade porcelain flowers using an industrial methodology of production to reproduce a standard romantic behavior. The proposal represents the current commodification of falling in love and how emotional patterns are socially assumed as icons of consumerism in the production of a romantic utopia where the object of love is related to the emerging rise of the mass market transforming emotions into commercial strategies.
