A person getting a haircut with a pair of scissors and a comb, holding a glass against the head.

Sometimes you don't feel anything. Especially in Berlin. Especially now.

Covid-19 in Berlin reduces the space of interaction to the 4 walls you live in, stuck with yourself, your pet or in this case your flatmates. People in little spaces can drive themselves into literally hairy situations.

The hair grows - together with boredom and urban isolation. Feeling all sort of feelings.

Somewhere between sleeping beauty and rapunzel, we decided to capture all of this emotional and intimate moments. It is a portrait on how to touch and be touched in times of social distancing.
