Matta and Matto
At the Hotel Vaip, where machines simulate human contact, guests pay a high price.
In a society where people live inside bubbles and touch is forbidden, the Hotel Vaip is highly in demand: there, clients can indulge in tactile pleasure, courtesy of custom-built machines that emulate touch. Previously screening at Sundance, SXSW and Clermont-Ferrand, this grotesque, surreal hand-drawn animation is ingeniously spun from the depths of lockdown isolation.
