An emotion, limping
Huotari Edna
An emotion, limping is an experimental short film that uses the human need of being accepted and seen as its premise. The social interactions of the narrator of the video work turn into the sheer panic of a pray animal. A cityscape and footage of animals combine into a story of how in the end, we all want to be loved, but the burden of being a human can make it more difficult.
