Cold – On Sensitivity

2019

In her project entitled "Cold – Study of Sensitivity", Jenny Brockmann has created an installation designed to provide a sensory experience for a single visitor at a time. The room is intended to encourage visitors to reflect on their own sensitivity and sensibility to cold (and heat), and to consider the psychological effects of cold. The phenomenon of cold can be regarded not only as a meteorological occurrence, but also as a metaphor for social disconnection and alienation, a trend that poses a significant challenge to our ability to coexist.
