ABOUT THE WORK

How do we feel if we can’t touch? This bizarre period challenges us to keep our distance from what’s innate. We learn to smile with just our eyes. Then quickly sanitise any remnants of other people that might have found their way onto our hands. And with those very palms, we swipe through minds, talking at everyone and no one, fixing our view of the world and the world’s view at the same time. Sometimes, we get a password to peer into each others’ living rooms. And check ourselves out. This piece is about those endeavours, awkward and unnatural; yet at their core, very human – after all, we have always tried to bend nature to our will.
