Love-love is a perpetually sinking boat created by French artist Julien Berthier. The boat sits at a 45 degree angle to the water’s surface as though it were sinking, thanks to its customized keel which balances the boat in place.
For this piece he adapted an abandoned 6.5 meter yacht so that it appears to be perpetually sinking. To create this, the vessel was split and a new keel was constructed allowing it to be sailed by Berthier at a 45 degree angle off the coast of Normandy. Love-Love, like much of his oeuvre, is impressive, poetic and humorous.
