This is an experimental film about the exquisite strangeness of be(com)ing a complex organism.
Movements enter the senses. They are agitated and moved around in the
interior, through interactions of bodily fluid, blood, tissue, bone,
ancestral spirit, wind, water, heat, sweat, desire, death, and then come
out as gesture. Gesture emerges through movement, surfacing through the
skin, because the skin is where the body makes contact with its
surroundings, with its exterior.
///
how did i come to have you in my hand; that which collapses and expands time.
in my hand, enveloped in bone and skin and blood and flesh muscle tissue fluid nail
this hand comes back again, persisting, reaching for something, undulating up.
this hand cycles relentlessly, becoming other hands, becoming other bodies
through repetition and loops you materialize
a subconscious return toward the spaces within your bodily memory
