NÄHE #3 – verführen
Closeness can quickly become too much, but it is never enough. We want more and more. We seduce and allow ourselves to be seduced to get closer and closer. The closeness should be anytime, anywhere and permanently. The border to the other should be overcome, it should fall, in favor of absolute closeness. Whether in …
