Laura Horelli 1976, Helsinki. Lives and works in Berlin In The Hidden Dimension [23] Edward T. Hall defines a number of social distances, that is to say, customary distances for different forms of communication in the Western Euraopean and American cultural sphere. Intimate distance (0 to 45 centimeters - 0 to 1 1/2 ft.) is the distance at which intense feelings are expressed: tenderness, comfort, love, and also strong anger. Personal distance (0.45 to 1.30 meters - 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 ft.) is the conversation distance between close friends and family. An example is the distance between people at the family dinner table. Social distance (1.30 to 3.75 meters - 4 1/2 to 12 ft.) is the distance for ordinary conversation among friends, acquaintances, neighbors, co-workers, and so on. The sofa group with armchairs and a coffee table is a physical expression of this social distance. Finally, public distance (greater than 3.75 meters - 12 ft.) is defined as the distance used in more formal situations - around public figures or in teaching situations with one-way communication or when someone wants to hear or see an event but does not wish to become involved.
