When Jenny Rova met Philippe in Zurich, he was living illegally in Switzerland after his asylum application was rejected. For fear of repercussions, he refused to be photographed. But Rova wanted to preserve her memories and took screenshots of their video calls without his knowledge. After a few months together, the couple decided to get married, but the procedure was complicated as the authorities suspected it was a marriage of convenience. Initially personal, these images become the key evidence of the reality of their relationship. Prove your love invites us to reflect on the role of images in our daily lives: the importance of memory in building a relationship, the use of photography as proof of love, and the delicate question of consent.
