Interactive Audiovisual Installation, Papier-mâché 2020.
After a long hiatus, touch (Interactive Installation, 2020), the first collaboration with my husband Martin Bircher, was showcased in KOUTA’s 10th Anniversary Exhibit at Poikilo Museo in Kouvola, Finland. You can have a sneak peek behind the process in this blog post.
At the time, we could not imagine that the concept of touch and sensation would take a new meaning in the era of social distancing a few weeks later when the pandemic was declared. Which left me wondering…
Is the act of touching a precious commodity?
How was touch shaped after that year, and what was lost without it?
What is it to touch and to be touched?
