In this world we live in, touch is a very limited human interaction. Especially in the western world, touch is used very limited within social interactions. 
We all need closeness and gentle touches from loved ones around us: friends/family and partners. 
It is generally already very difficult to be close and platonic, but how do we deal with touch in times of Covid 19 and the pandemic. 
We have limited physical touch with others, prompting the question what does it do to the individual? 
The art world has one rule about touch without exception, „DO NOT TOUCH THE ARTWORK.“ This is a historic, mostly unspoken, rule about the special treatment of artworks.
The proposal for an exhibition at for Bienal Sur is based around one 3D-printed sculpture. It is thermodynamic and changes color when / if it receives body warmth. 
During this exhibition, people are allowed to touch the sculpture and subsequently interact with it. 
Questions as to how people may react to it reveal the intention of the objects placement. They are invited to cross existing boundaries.
Through social experimentation, the work raises behavior patterns as to whether or not people would be willing to touch the art work and in essence activate the meaning. If the audience decides to participate they will open themselves up to new feelings of touch in a climate that removes our right to touch. 
The work looks to combine performative, emotional dialogues and conceptual installation techniques to bring people closer.
