‘Meet and greet’ is a body of work resulting from ‘Ephemeral Intimacy’ performance in which I transcribe every first messages received on the location-based social and dating app, Grindr.

Using the color blue, as incoming messages one receives on the application, the series of works from Ephemeral Intimacy performance explore the disappearance of refinement, lack of effort in seduction between gay men and the negative impact on body and metal health generated by the advent of this new communication channel.
