In this project, I explore my own fear of touch, an inner distance that arises when a place or a way 
of life feels unfamiliar. At Bremer Platz, I met people who are often defined solely by their drug 
use. I wanted to understand who they are beyond that, and how my gaze changes when I truly 
encounter them, let go of my distance, and allow myself to get to know a small part of their lives.

With my camera and in short conversations, I seek moments of closeness without crossing 
personal boundaries. My work is deliberately personal: an attempt to reduce unfamiliarity and 
openly document my view of a harsh reality.

The project is directed at people willing to tolerate ambiguity. I do not show Bremer Platz to 
correct an image, but to make visible what I encountered there. For a moment, fear of touch 
turned into closeness. Yet in the end, I return to my own world, while theirs remains the same.
