Leurs mains
Nov 1, 1987
Description:
While in residence at Western Front, Michèle Waquant developed the single-channel video Leurs mains (Their hands). Set to a score composed by Hank Bull, Waquant’s five-minute video offers a study of isolated hands stretching, smoking, fidgeting, and gesticulating; juxtaposed with scenes of a cockatoo in a conservatory.
Video documentation is available upon request.
