            FEELINGS

            i saw you called?

            “I saw you called? Haven’t heard from you in a while. It’s nice that you reached out. Back then I always knew what was going on with you.” This is the beginning of a chat about love, memory, and identity between two people who were once very close. FEELINGS is known for its interactive story games. For HAU, the Berlin artists are developing an intimate conversation between two people of different generations.
