The performance ‚ Person ‘ by Lena Kunz shows the opportunity of kind, loving self-touch. We often give conscious touch to partners, friends or family, but rather rarely to ourselves.
By stroking ourselves, we show care and love for the body we have and our daily efforts to be there for us. She touches her arms, legs and torso lovingly for several hours in front of a 3.7m wide freestanding mirror. The visitors can see themselves in the mirror as they enter the room, being confronted to deal with how they feel about their self-image.
Duration: 4 hours
