Come and Hug me
This is an experimental work about the touch crisis. It is a body exploration made during lockdow, in the context of the coronavirus Pandemic where touch is no longer given, where our skins have to avoid each other. I am wondering how do we live with that? How do we find a solution to get closer again? How would human evolve in the future to enable to find a way to touch each other? Can we gain truthful intimate touch as a subject?
I have intended to emphasize on how touch is important and how even in extreme situations, society can construct playful and new ways to keep contact and connection between bodies.
The pillow outfit allows us to interact with each other in a playful way and by so, low the boundaries while keeping our intimacy. It is an invitation to contact and interaction. It invites us to play with others and get closer.
