Empty Hand

2018 |Video | 5:36 min | FHD | 16:9 | stereo sound





Deities are recognized by their attributes, movie‘s plots are driven by the chase for objects. But what‘s in the center if the object of desire is interchangeable?

Stock photos of people presenting products yet to be inserted, MacGuffins in mainstream cinema and Black Friday‘s hysterics are distilled to an everflowing river of hands.

Empty hands show, present, grab, grapple and tear, rip open packages and pass secrets to one another.
