    The hiding of touch, Ben Qi, February 2024, installation, carton, chain, plastic, 120cm x 360 cm

    Touch is very common in life, the different behaviour motivations can trigger touch, such as self touch, the other’s touch with oneself, the oneself touch objects. When the intimate touch is established, the emotions, the temperature, the fetish objects, and other immersive elements, they all give an isolation on the touch shape. If this touch fell always safe and comfortable, can we always have? How can we always have?
