fear:less deals with social conditions of fear and questions the function of the body in this context. The culmination of various acute global crises seems to be increasingly condensing into a collective state of fear and shaping people’s behaviour. Paradoxically, at the same time as fears are on the rise, we are witnessing increasingly uninhibited language and shame-free, reckless behaviour that appears loud, unbridled and completely indifferent.
