SIMON GRAB (ZÜRICH) + RAFAŁ PIERZYŃSKI (ZÜRICH)
Returning changed. Under_standing somewhere else. Reconnecting the stories and worlds within and between us. The experience of the other, oblique reality in the shift of perspective is disorienting, fragile, collective, touching in the absence of touch, its notouch. Non-touching reveals and expands ideas of touch, borders and bodies, asking for more capacious we. The choreography matters in terms of space and in time, gesturing towards other worlds, entering corpo-virtual, trans-reality, Touching: The Alterity Within.
‘All touching entails an infinite alterity, so that touching the other is touching all others, including the “self,” and touching the “self” entails touching the strangers within.’ - Karen Barad
