Deep Feelings looks at the persistence of Aby Warburg's «pathos formula» (visually
associating diverse portrayals of certain
emotions) in works by Hans - Peter Feldmann, Damien Hirst, Jeff Wall, Urs Fischer, Douglas Gordon, Sarah Lucas, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Titian, Philippe Parreno, Sharon Lockhart, William Kentridge, Maurizio Cattelan and others.
A study published in Psychological Science found that when participants engaged in expressive writing (i.e., writing about their
deepest emotions related to their relationship), they were more likely to use positive and negative
emotion words — such as happy and love — during daily exchanges with their significant others compared to participants in a control group asked to write about simple day - to - day activities.2 Importantly, the study revealed that increases in the use of positive
emotion words were
associated with higher levels of relational stability.
