Proximity as touch has become a sensitive topic with the pandemic. The experience of closeness is part of the human universal foundation of needs, as the philosopher Martha C.

Based on this, the exhibition brings together an artistic examination of the longing for closeness, in its highest intensity as love and intimacy, but also with its counterpart, the desire for distance.
