You, me and Aristoteles
You, me and Aristoteles is a meeting of two people and a story. Bring a situation or an important memory. Then decide which part of the story it is: a beginning, end or turning point. We´ll find other parts of the story – and in the end I will tell it to you.

A dance of hands, a concert of touch and friction, a wind from one skin to another. A salute, farewell, love and appreciation for my further disabling hands and fingers.

Eva Holts (UKR)
