The two informants move and use their bodies in what Edward Hall defines as close and far social distances (40-80 centimetres from the screen and from one another). Physically, they are in a rather intimate area, which affects their experience and way of talking. The two researchers, on the other hand, are what Hall calls a social distance from the informants, but some of the informants turn away from the screen and move physically closer to the researchers. There is a public aspect in the situation that affects their experience of the work and the situation. (Drawing: Bruno Ingemann).
