Hands
Oja Marjatta
Hands uses two video projections on opposite walls. Both show a hand with a rectangle drawn on it. There is also a rectangle drawn on the walls, which coincides (or does not coincide) with the rectangle drawn on the hand in the video. Hands explores the emergence of a new space through a trick-like event, forming a kind of intermediary situation.
