According to melanie bonajo, feelings are a kind of intelligence. They equal thinking by means of touch. In a protected environment, isolated from the outside world, the artist invites us to reflect on the perception of intimacy and on the sense of touch as a possible, practical solution against the modern loneliness epidemic. When the Body Says Yes is, in their words, “a collective spell, a positive field of pleasure, eco-erotic queer eros, a place of productive chaos and mutual care, where we get to know one another using touch.”
