To read with the hands
This series explores the relationship between gazing and reading, between a moving image and a still image. Each piece collects 180 photos taken in bursts for later animation and we can see the arrangement of these images in their progression towards movement, even when they are still. One next to the other, they make a path in which it is possible to see the exact moment of the change in the shot, caused by the movement of the filmed object – a book, a hand, a page that is turned to see the next.

The stabilized image at a point of change, the movement made object, the linear reading becoming circular, are the subjects of this work.
