ARM WRESTLING FOR TWO, PLEASE acts as a sensitive and intense interaction between two strangers connecting physically and symbolically with one another. 

With ARM WRESTLING FOR TWO, PLEASE Souklaye questions how our endless and unlimited digital self can cope inside a huis-clos for two and without appended smartphones to deflect the moment.

ARM WRESTLING FOR TWO, PLEASE’s attempt is to set a familiar environment leading the performer and a visitor to acknowledge the most primal need for humanity: I see you, you exist, therefore “I” exist.

The experimentation involves hands, eyes, and souls. It aims to extract the performer and a visitor from the rest of the data stream during an unconventional hand-over, hand-shake…

ARM WRESTLING FOR TWO, PLEASE tests the limits of subtle physical interactions in a small hidden space while the most intimate parts of our life are becoming open source and exhibited.

Are we so disconnected that we are unable to wrestle with the idea of opening our personal space to a stranger for a brief moment? 

With ARM WRESTLING FOR TWO, PLEASE Souklaye sets the table… two chairs, cellular souls and sights.
