HAND
2014
This is a performance experienced through the touch of the participant’s hand. After arriving at the space, the participant is given directions through headphones. They are asked to sit on a chair and are guided to choose a sound piece out of three available choices to accompany their experience. When ready, they put their hand through a hole on the wall on their right side. Their hand then meets another human body on the other side, and a physical connection that lasts for fifteen minutes.
