Benny Wult grows up in a world where each human life lasts only a few days and everything happens only once. Sexual intercourse can be done only once after which the genitals are useless. The same goes for drunkenness. Get drunk again, you die. Woman are also only pregnant once. Clothes are worn only 1 time and children literally grow out of their clothes. Only eating repeats itself, but each person eats only three times and each meal is different.

This rich essay searches for new ways of being together in the age of social media. We arrange our lives to impress the gaze of others and have become accustomed to being seen.

Falling in love feels like a bubble in which the rest of the world seems to disappear. Daily life seem to be temporarily suspended. The world freezes, an eclipse in time. Your senses and the world around you is on fire, and everyone is getting burned. It’s overwhelming, frightening and scary but above all magical. FIRST LOVE is a visualization of that feeling that once was.
