Sologamy, The Art of Marrying Oneself (English Edition, 2026), by visual artist Elena Ketra, is the first essay published in Italy on the international social issue of sologamy.

The book – availbale on Amazon – is structured into thematic sections, and each chapter opens with a key term that generates a semantic map to support the text. It examines the etymology of forms of union, the history of marriage, the role of wedding vows, and the individual dimension of self-fulfillment. It also analyzes contemporary cultural expressions, such as festivals, wedding planners, television series, cinema, and influencers, that outline an emerging intellectual framework around the practice.

This analysis, contextualized by the multimedia performance created by the artist on sologamy.org – the first platform that allows anyone to celebrate a self-marriage online – clarifies the conceptual boundaries of sologamy. It distinguishes sologamy from interpersonal relationships, which it strengthens, and corrects misleading interpretations based on traditional value paradigms. The work integrates artistic poetics and academic reflection to outline a rigorous theoretical framework.
