SOUNDBTIES OF LILI HENDRIEKSE, RESIDENT; MARIE-CHRISTINE DESOER , DIRECTOR OF THE HOME; AND YVES LETELLIER, WHO VISITS HIS FATHER. Translations: LILI HENDRIEKSE: 1. I saw my children two metres away despite having a great desire to hug them. We had to be patient. 2. It (the hug) was with my daughter and I cried. I am very emotional. MARIE-CHRISTINE DESOER: 1. Not knowing how long this was going to last we had to find a solution to be able to hug our residents. Living without physical contact is not possible, so that's why we decided to create the ‘calinerie'. 2. When we started hearing about coronavirus we were very scared. Luckily, we had the necessary equipment and, trying to react quickly, we made reservations for masks, gel (hand sanitizer), gloves and blouses (medical). YVES LETELLIER: 1. We were frustrated about not being able to touch them, so the idea of ??creating an installation to be able to hug each other is really fantastic. You get used to it, but being able to do it again renews you.
