HandMade (1995)
Single-channel video projection
1 x DVD PAL 4:3, 0:08 min, endless loop
VHS Master

The video installation HandMade shows a short video loop of a disembodied hand, hitting a wall in a ritual, mantra like manner.

A TV monitor becomes a makeshift projector and throws the image back on the same wall. The endless beating against the wall turns more and more into a desperate and frenzied gesture.
