What is love? How do we build connections in our context? On the basis of the ideas that are defined and imposed? How can we build an intimacy that is oppressed by large social and political structures?

Human beings are naturally communal. We feel comfortable when we share a feeling of belonging, shared ideas. Through some writings many traditions were born. The word is what stays. Traditions, which are often constituted as the totalitarian identity of the individual.

The era of individualism does not exist, we live constantly trapped in the human need to create a community.

Intimacy, the way we relate, is learned from the context and from others. Only in an era that tries to break with the canons and the idea of ​​an imperishable and always stable love that has been imposed, a willing for a new way of loving is activated. Intimacy changes from the collective, the personal becomes political.

The work of Clara Abi Nader and Pepe Reyes Caballero questions the dynamics of relationships from an intimate perspective given by personal experience without blankets, through a window without curtains.
Intimacy is a public screening in an showcase. You can’t intervene, you can observe, but what can you change?
