The exhibition "This is Your Private Viewing" at Rauch in Krefeld, emerged as a poignant response to the isolation and lack of physical connection brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a time when touching and engaging with others became restricted, this exhibition offered a unique opportunity for visitors to rekindle those sensory experiences.

The exhibition's premise of inviting visitors to feel, touch, and even wear the artworks fostered a sense of intimacy and connection within the confines of the gallery space. Life-sized textile sculptures, carefully crafted to mimic lively environments and social interactions, served as conduits for human interaction and tactile exploration.

Whether it was through embracing large velvet hands, donning enveloping bodysuits, or engaging with oversized tongue sculptures, visitors were encouraged to immerse themselves fully in the sensory experience. By breaking down barriers between viewer and artwork, "Your Private Viewing" sought to restore a sense of physical closeness and shared humanity in a time of social distancing.
