In corona time, Hanneke Wetzer made the special series Living Alone (Together) about everyday scenes at home with her new roommate, her ‘best friend forever’ (bff).
“There is a lockdown coming and you are single. You don’t have anyone to cuddle with during all those lonely months. What to do? Then you look for a partner in crime so that both can remain mentally healthy. Since flights were already canceled, I was forced to send my bff Nadiah over by mail. Now that she is here we support each other and we share all the little moments of happiness.”
Hanneke Wetzer staged all kinds of domestic and intimate situations of herself with Nadiah, where it is not immediately clear that Nadiah is a (sex) doll. The series still continues during the whole pandemic.
