When two human bodies touch, a silent, unwritten “history of proximity” emerges – a dance through time, fleeting yet enduring. Based on drawings by artist Lisa Est and with the poetry by Herbert J. Wimmer, the film depicts touch as evidence of a shared history, as a tacit conversation between bodies that triggers a new history of commonality (Tactile Historiogenesis).
