In this tur­bu­lent and unsett­ling peri­od, the distance bet­ween peo­p­le has grown wider than ever befo­re. In times of disper­si­on, indi­vi­du­als scat­ter to dif­fe­rent cor­ners of the world, and we must ack­now­ledge the phy­si­cal distance that exists bet­ween us. During the pan­de­mic, our bodies are trap­ped in space, while our spi­rits are con­fi­ned within sys­tems, forming walls in people’s minds, one after ano­ther. Faced with the arri­val of a new world, how should we navi­ga­te the „distance“ bet­ween each other?
