De Trop 1: So Dramatic (2018)
De Trop 2: Crazy (2018)
De Trop 3: AFB (2018)
De Trop is a French word meaning “too much, superfluous or excessive”. As it relates to online dating, when a person is called “dramatic” it generally is because the aggressor didn’t get the response they were hoping for (usually in response to a sexual query). Calling someone dramatic is a way to manipulate the conversation, attempting to make the other person question their reactions to something that violated their boundaries. The De Trop series explores these phrases and tactics through the use of over-the-top balloon art.
