Hands on Earth (Tuesday May 14 2024)
Hands on Earth (Tuesday May 14 2024) takes place over a day of collective demonstration in Philadelphia. Shot on 16mm, the film focuses on hands as a unique agent and index of the desiring body – a poetic technology of expression, exertion, and touch. The medium of photochemical film marks the alchemy of and in public protest, while departing from typical protest portraiture of the face and the sign in favor of a meditation on the pleasures and pains of the political body. As an exposure, the film invites a feeling-with, while pushing against the way recording and the record uphold virality and speed as priorities.
Thank you to Mono No Aware in Brooklyn, NY.
