Take This Touch Inside Your Body is a project that explores the permanence and accumulation of touch in the body. The exhibition is a continuation of the performance with the same name, which premiered on 24 August 2022 at the Reykjavik University of the Arts.
The exhibition will feature photographs, Scores for Touch – a poetry book in process, as well as performative and participatory events. The photos are screenshots from video footage shot by Dan Farberoff.
