Benjamin Mario Massa (*1992) explores with his works the highly sensitive and the introverted side of the society. He emphasizes the urgency of noticing their existence and engaging in their discourse.
With the basis of his perception, which leads him from sensitive moments to unavoidable overstimulation, Massa deals with the topics of relations, relationships and the interaction of human beings. Whereby closeness and distance, verbal and nonverbal communication, such as physicality and sexuality have their importance.
