Skin & Fragments - Hands

Hands looks at the body's expressive range through one of its most articulate parts.
Cut off from the face and the rest of the body, the hands become their own figures. They stop accompanying speech or action and start building a visual language of their own, somewhere between gesture, touch and silence.
Each photograph freezes a fleeting arrangement of fingers, palms, wrists. Some gestures look deliberate, others instinctive or unsure. They do not belong to any fixed vocabulary, staying open to several readings at once, somewhere between communication, choreography and sculpture.
Freed from their usual job, the hands stop describing action and start carrying states, tension, hesitation, invitation, withdrawal. They show how meaning can come through movement alone, with no narrative or facial expression attached.
Inside Skin & Fragments, Hands looks at the body's capacity to speak through its smallest gestures — sometimes a fragment says more than the whole body could.
