ERIKA EIFFEL
Erika
"Aya" Eiffel (née Erika
LaBrie), is an American woman
who famously "married" the Eiffel Tower in a commitment ceremony in 2007.
She is founder of OS Internationale, an organization for
those who develop significant relationships with inanimate objects (objectophile). She has been featured as a
spokesperson and advocate in a wide variety of publications, and on radio talk
shows and television programs. She is a former US military member and archery
world champion. She continues to compete at an international level as an
archer. She claims that her object relationship with Lance, her competition
bow, helped her to become a world-class archer.
She first encountered the Eiffel Tower
in 2004, and felt an immediate attraction.
Her love for the Eiffel Tower and long
standing relationship with the Berlin Wall are the subjects of numerous newspaper
articles and television documentaries. Regarding the attraction of herself and
other similar people to inanimate objects, she is reported by ABC News as
saying that she and others "[...] feel an innate connection to objects. It
comes perfectly normal to us to connect on various levels, emotional, spiritual
and also physical for some."
In April 2009, on the second
anniversary of her "marriage" to the Eiffel Tower, she appeared on Good Morning
America discussing
how her object love empowered her.
Her 20-year relationship with the Berlin Wall inspired the musical theater
production "Erika's Wall".
In 2011 a Finnish journalist moved to
Berlin for a year to write a book about Erika's object relationships and
everyday life. "Rautaiset rakastajat – matkani Erika Eiffelin
maailmaan" ("Iron lovers - Erika Eiffel, trip to the world of")
was published in Finland in October 2012.
