In their exhibition »Dabei sein ist alles« Whitney Burschs and Helena Baumeister presented works that deal with online dating in times of isolation and boredom. The authors both talk about their experiences with radical openness. Their attitude is not accusatory, but rather tender and attentive. The focus is on the reflection of one’s own needs and a graphic appreciation of the absurdities of the trivial. The exhibition took place as part of the Comicfestival Hamburg.
