Catalyst presents: a single night event of Natalie Kovacs' video installation, "I'm Fine Without You." This video explores the psychological concepts of love, desire, femininity, and the performance of identity. The video examines the effects of expectation upon the development of potential relationships from a romanticized film perspective rather than a normative parent-example one. The project details the confusion experienced by expectations in the desire for a successful relationship that will be confronted by trying to develop and pursue a relationship through the tools of a failing one. These conceptions of love are not successful and will never result in a successful relationship.
