do hearts break if you don’t touch them?
emma rssx writes from a time stuck inside
'when hearts grew out in soil, fertile,’
showing hearts on the ground
exploring emotional, tangible, and virtual bodies of space (from the sheltering womb to the width of the city one lives in), emma rssx presents spatial bodies as soil (on which one walks, cries, stumbles, turns, and falls), with language and code as its architectures.
taken from a poem by Charles Bernstein she no longer recalls, this stanza initiated emma rssx’s exploration and introspection on broken hearts.
According to the artist, the pandemic has unleashed waves of mental breakdowns. Individual feelings have been secluded and disconnected, lacking the necessary human contacts and love one needs to receive and give. how can something break if it wasn't touched? questions the dynamics of distancing and proximity in times of a pandemic. For the Window Project // Fensterprojekt emma rss highlights the need for connection and social contact, for the continuation of dialogue, links and discussions from a distance.
