In a time marked by global unrest, social alienation, and a growing disconnection from both self and others, TOUCH // ESCAPE responds to these issues with urgency and tenderness.
The exhibition explores the fundamental need for human presence, intimacy, and community care. Upstairs (TOUCH), the works confront themes of disconnection, vulnerability, and the strength that emerges through shared experience. They invite us to consider what it means to be truly present, with ourselves and with others, in a world that often demands detachment as survival.
Downstairs (ESCAPE), we shift perspective. In an ambient and sensorial space of video art and installations, we explore intentional disconnection - not as avoidance, but as a form of resistance. A pause. An invitation to feel, drift, and decompress from the overstimulated digital world that exhausts us. Together, these rooms offer a duality essential to navigating our present: the power of community and the necessity of momentary escape.
