Our skin is our largest organ and has her own intelligence. It is literally the protective barrier between our inner and outer world. It gives us an identity and a feeling of being an I.

Skin contact is one of the most intimate forms of communication between people. Often we communicate through our hands. In our hands are numerous tactile receptors. The skin is a social organ and likes to be used. She wants to touch and be touched. What does a world in which we are afraid of transmitting diseases through contact with others mean?

Haphenosophobia was one of the winning projects in the keyboard/mouse contest of Sankt Interface 2020.

Currently exhibited on google maps at uninhabited islands Like bouvet island and pikelot
