"Since 2000, Gao Brothers have hugged hundreds of strangers and organised group hugging performances with strangers at many public locations in different ways and have taken a lot of interesting photographs."see more of hug performance here
GAO Brothers
"The Gao Brothers are looking at people like scientists observing bacilli in the microscope in order to reproduce their movements by choreographing them.
