Everyone sometimes so wants to hug, but not with anyone! It is for such people in such situations that there are promotions such as "Free Hugs" or wall for anonymous hugs "Anonymous Hugging"by Keetra Dean Dixon.
Kitra Dean Dixon is already known to us for her other project, which studies the interaction of people with each other - pairing things for lovers “Just between you and me”. In the Anonymous Hugging project, Kitra examines how close strangers are to each other. To this end, Dean Dixon created an Anonymous Hugging fabric wall with two “growths” in it, where anyone can stick their hands in and hug them completely unhindered. people on the other side of the wall.
In general, people are not inclined to hug with unfamiliar representatives of the human race. After all, it is believed that hugging is an intimate process, allowed only to people who are well known to each other and who have deep sympathy for each other. Kitra Dean Dixon, on the other hand, uses Anonymous Hugging to offer a completely different approach to hugging.
On the one hand, people using the “Anonymous Hugging” fabric wall hug, most likely, with unfamiliar persons, on the other hand, it happens completely anonymously and, as it were, intimacy “does not count” in this case.
Kitra Dean Dixon explains the concept of "Anonymous Hugging" by her desire to explore the boundaries that separate one person from another. Explore how conventional they are, how easy it is to get around them, and how far you can go in trying to get around them.
Kitra's Anonymous Hugging Wall by Dean Dixon is now on display at METHODS & APPARATI, a showcase for social interaction and mood-raising.
