'Tender Cannibalism: Diffracting Eva Fàbregas's Devouring Lovers through Daisy Lafarge's Lovebug'

This essay examines Eva Fàbregas's installation Devouring Lovers alongside Daisy Lafarge's novel Lovebug through the figure of the parasite—an organism that consumes what it loves. Using diffraction as a feminist methodology, it argues that acts of consumption in these works are neither purely violent nor purely innocent, but instead constitute a radical mode of entanglement that resists any clean separation between self and other.
