In ‘A little bit like the soul’ four queer performers jointly care for a sculptural object. The group lived together for a week, exploring what forms this caring relationship could take. The project explores how objects can make abstract social and political concepts tangible: even though the sculpture itself is inanimate. How we interact with it, interpret it and attach meaning to it, can turn objects into a catalyst for human interaction and dialogue. The film aims to provoke thoughts on queer intimacy and rethink the social norms surrounding notions of care in general.
