Love, Loss and 'Project 22'

Fleur Pierets and Julian Boom wanted to wed in every country that allowed gay marriage

Fleur Pierets and Julian Boom wanted to wed in every country that allowed gay marriage.

After falling in love at first sight, the artist couple planned to make a statement to the world. So in 2017, they embarked on ‘Project 22’ - a performance art piece in which they would marry in all 22 countries where same-sex marriage was legal at the time. But four weddings later, their trip would be tragically cut short.

Fleur has written a memoir about her experience, called Julian.
