A Thousand Gestures

solo exhibition | GlogauAIR, Berlin | 2024

The exhibition conceived as a place of interaction and contact, and was created in close collaboration with the artists in residence at GlogauAIR in Berlin between January and March 2024. The soft sculptures, which lie on the floor of the exhibition space, invite visitors to stop for a hug and cuddle. The artists in residence acted as models for the photos and collaborated in making the forms of the sculptures in collective sewing sessions. The video work follows the same concept of community creation, involving the artists in the online residency. The voices of the artists are captured through intimate interviews, exploring the role of touch in both personal and professional contexts. Through this collective narrative, the video invites viewers to contemplate the impact of physical touch on our sense of self and interpersonal relationships.

The project was supported by Memoria Artística Chema Alvargonzalez.
