Tap and Touch Cinema (1968)

Expanded cinema: ‘As always, the screening takes place in the dark. Only the movie theatre has become a bit smaller. There’s only room inside for two hands. In order to see the film, meaning in this case to sense and feel it, the viewer (user) must guide his or her two hands into the movie theatre by way of the entrance. With that, the curtain, which up till now was raised only for the eyes, is finally raised for both hands too.
The tactile reception stands against the deception of voyeurism. For as long as the citizenry settles for the reproduced copy of sexual liberty, the state is spared the sexual revolution. “Tapp und Tastkino” is an example for the activation of the audience through new interpretation.’
