It’s getting cold outside, so it’s all the nicer to go into a hot sauna. However, the cold often stays inside us, no matter how warmly we heat up. In our society, general empathy doesn’t exactly look good. We close ourselves off, stay in our bubbles and would rather have fun online than start a real conversation with strangers. Social isolation is a symptom of today’s living conditions and has long since reached the countryside as well as the big cities. Contact between residents is not always better here, control often prevails over communication, and loneliness and marginalisation are just as prevalent here as in urban areas. Before the sauna closes for the season, we want to heat things up for all friends and new visitors to the floating sauna. So let’s sit close together, rub our bodies and talk about utopias in which every cold is overcome and we are always warm.
