Please Touch

Please Touch

Beirut Art Fair·2015

Tactile Performances

Presented within the “Virtual/Reality” segment curated by Pascal Odille at Beirut Art Fair, “Please Touch” transformed four performers into living sculptures. Concealed within sculptural textile forms, their bodies responded to visitors’ touch and continually reshaped the work. The performance destabilized the usual boundaries between sculpture and performer, viewer and artwork, inviting the audience to experience form through touch rather than sight.
