Sliding Mirror: 24 Hour Embrace

The story goes like this: Korean artist Young Sun Han used the world wide web to connect with strangers who match a certain physical description. At midnight – tonight! – he will meet up with one such stranger in 4A’s street front gallery and they will embrace for a full 24 hours. By ‘embrace’ we mean ‘hug’. There won’t be any kissy stuff. Such an attempt is fraught with complications; how will they go to the bathroom? Will there be naps? All will be revealed at midnight. – NS
