Are you in a relationship with your smartphone? How long is it since you enjoyed quality time with your parents or had dinner with friends without the constant distraction of peering into your phone? If you can’t remember, then you need something to remind you of the importance of your near and dear ones.

You Are Not Alone promises to give that experience so that you can relish life once again without being dogged by your phone or the social media. However, for that you need to get tied up first. Literally.

The Beijing Raffles City exhibition requires visitors to come with their partners or friends, tied together by a 45-cm belt, to enjoy the sights as one. The exhibition is on till October 14.
