Hand Inscription
Digital Photography and Video: 56 mins (2009)

(In collaboration with writer Sara Hallström)

Hand Inscription reflects the performative process of collective work; when two persons are trying to write a text on a blank page while holding hands; an action reminiscent of a traditional handshake, as if a deal or agreement of some kind is being made.

The persons are physically joined as each of them with their “free” hand at the same time circle the surface of the white sheet trying to find new space to write on, moving in and out of a mutual rhythm of work.
