Q&A with Kim Coleman – BFMAF 2025
Wednesday, 10 September, 2025
BFMAF public programmer Dawn Bothwell talks to artist Kim Coleman about her work with Wendy Clarke and their Endless Love Tapes exhibition at BFMAF 2025.Endless Love TapesDirector: Wendy ClarkeYear: 1977 – present‘If every person on the planet could make a love tape, then you’d really know what it’s like to be human’ ~Wendy ClarkeEndless Love Tapes (United Kingdom, 2025) is a pilot project by Wendy Clarke (US) and Kim Coleman (UK). Artist Wendy Clarke’s participatory video project, Love Tapes – which she began in 1977 – is an incredible collection of over 2,500 three-minute videos where people discuss what love means to them.But how can a participatory art project started by an individual artist continue indefinitely? And how can everyone really participate in it?Clarke and Coleman aim to answer this question and to achieve what Clarke has always wanted – for everyone in the world to be able to make a Love Tape. The pair have crafted a manual to share and continue Clarke’s process, enabling people to add Loves Tapes from their own communities to the growing collection indefinitely, without direct communication with the artist.Berwick Film Festival 2025 celebrates the start of a year of their Endless Love Tapes project which tests the potential for Clarke’s Love Tapes to grow endlessly.Endless Love Tapes at Berwick Film Festival – managed by Wendy Clarke and Kim Coleman – is the first in a year-long pilot project which gives a series of communities to make new Love Tapes.
