Les Complices * are very happy that Maja Zimmermann will be showing her film Und mit manchen geh ich in die Sauna (And I go to the Sauna with some of them)
The film shows conversations with people whose daily work is fundamentally based on haptic, physical contact. As a continuation of the work Hands on – Techniques of Touch, which was shown in 2015 at Les Complices*, the video gives an insight into different forms of relational work of differing duration and intensity. Care and sexual assistants, those who require assistance, and masseurs reflect on their position in a complex interplay between self-determination, boundary-setting, and the guarantee of being present. They descriptively explore a multidirectional open zone of „professional closeness“ that is redefined daily through the temporal, emotional, and physical limitations.
The film is in german with english subtitles
There is the possibility to see the film again on Friday 8.2, from 2 to 6 pm and on Saturday 9.2, from 2 to 4 pm.
