Argument

Loneliness can be desired, but it can also bring its share of wounds and suffering. Loneliness slowly imposes itself without one really realizing it, and can last for years or decades. In the mode of the hikikomori, for example, but also in the context of the confinements of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged social isolation provokes in the speaking being a particular relationship to time. Among some hikikomori people, we observe the presence of traumas (bullying, corporal punishment, etc.) that occurred during adolescence, and narrated 10 or 20 years later as if it was yesterday. Yet, the approach of psychologists limited to the notion of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) seems insufficient to explain the richness of the lived experience and the type of wounds of which prolonged solitude is the sign. To better understand the wound in its relationship to time and solitude, we will call upon three French and Japanese artists.
