THE LOVE STARVATION ECONOMY / 13 CONVERSATIONS ABOUT LOVE shares some characteristics of one of Ocher's previous works: ALL OF MY PROBLEMS ARE IMAGINARY (BUT MY FRIENDS ARE REAL) - yet the focus shifts from the individual to the broad phenomenon of relationships in an international metropolis.

Ocher herself, along with a colorful cast of friends and acquaintances, speak of the commodification of love, an idealisation of the subject by cultural prefixes, the pressure of self-fulfilment through another individual, monogamy vs nonmonogamy and so on and so forth. 

These conversations were then broken into several parts.
The subject was considered as study for a book, but multiple voices articulated findings much more diverse.
