Fair Distancing is a multimedia exhibition by Les Petites Annonces® playing with hug’s metaphysics and socially distanced games. This first collaborative showing unpacked needs that got challenged during lockdown (care, touch, play) through sculptural games that the audience can engage with.
Here the idea of care is reinvested through absurd instructions, objects and games, trying to reverse the balance of the restriction toward a fun and positive constraint. When to be safe the entire world needs to step away from you, it is perhaps time to use the Comforting squish machine® or the Extremely Largely Safe cuddle boot®. Delivered with complete manuals and scientific evidence demonstrating the high engineering caliber of these revolutionary pieces of equipment. LPA® will support you in your “touching without touching”, “feeling without feeling”, “kissing without kissing”, “dancing without sweating” journey and guarantee you an unique and real tactile experience without the use of any of your senses.
LPA® is a collaborative project between Julia Drouhin and Edith Perrenot.
