The fifth iteration of TAAT’s longterm project HALL33 was set in the gothic Saint Nicolas church and presented at the Design Triennial in Ghent, Belgium. The participants were invited to move through a wooden installation, reacting intuitively to the different spatial settings. The installation had an H-shaped setup in which participants were invited to encounter each other in a spatial dramaturgy based on ‘touch’. Through shifting the attention to nearness and distance of the ‘Other’ (the other participant) the ability of the participants to communicate non-visually and non-verbally was stimulated.
