Synopsis

A hand that sings? In the realm of the senses, words go crazy and look for a way out anywhere they can. In this spiraling work by Alex Reynolds and Alma Söderberg, the camera puts together a choreography that observes the movements of everything: the hand, as well as a bird, and how cork gets extracted from trees. From out of these movements come relationships: a gesture produces a sound, which in turn produces another gesture. In this way, layers are built upon all its elements, including language, as it explores the possibility of being more than one; bilingual or trilingual, in the language of shouts, clicks, chants and growls.

Director biography

Alex Reynolds y Alma Söderberg

Choreographer Alma Söderberg and filmmaker Alex Reynolds met in Brussels in 2016. Since then, their practices are intertwined. Although they work in different fields they share an obsession for the tension between the aural and the visual and its political, ethical, and aesthetic implications. They think about background and foreground, and about how listening is a tool to move into the depths of seeing.
