Touch is an ephemeral and intimate gesture. Through touch, two human beings come closer together. At the same time, touching objects is a mundane activity that we barely register in the everyday rush. It happens unconditionally and automatically—for instance, when we touch door or window handles, light switches, or clothespins. In this assemblage, time is halted and the touch is petrified, reminding us that touch is one of the senses through which we experience the world.
