Touch is the basis of all life. Touching can be caring, protective and soothing. and exciting and sensual as well. Touch is the first sense that develops in the embryo long before it can see, hear or smell. A person who is not touched can fade emotionally and physically.
Though, touching can be painful, frightening, or disgusting. Here lies the great dilemma of touch: we all crave it, but at the same time we are afraid.
In the history of mankind, in different epochs and cultures, touch is an important indicator. The way people touch each other and the way art explores the tension between proximity and distance speaks about society's attitude to life, moods and values.
The film explores the phenomenon of touch through the interdisciplinary approach from the point of view of art History, Neurology, Philosophy and Sociology.
The characters of the film are artists, thinkers, scientists and a newborn baby. The viewer goes with them on a touching journey through the history of culture, from the "kiss of the world" to social distancing.
December, the 20th, at 14.45 Admission is free.
