When words and faces reveal nothing, what else can carry meaning? Can a color express loneliness? Can a scent convey comfort? Can a shape hold anger or tenderness?
“your body is a border” is a multi-sensory, interactive space where participants discover new forms of nonverbal and non-gestural communication. Through one-on-one encounters and collective creation, visitors invent unfamiliar languages using colors, scents, textures, shapes, and tastes to translate emotions into something visible.
It’s a space where strangers meet, sense, and shape emotions together, creating connection without words, without faces, without borders.

Biography
Anan Mahmoud, Vera Schmid
Anan Mahmoud (*1995, Egypt) and Vera Schmid (*1990, Austria) are a design duo based in Berlin. Their work moves at the intersections of concept, graphic and motion design, film, and interactive media. They met during their master’s thesis at the Media University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, where they completed the first ever collaborative thesis at their university.
They develop design that provokes, moves, and sparks curiosity. Their work questions established concepts and emerges from the dialogue between two very different personalities who, despite their different backgrounds, have found a shared visual language.
