Hannah Wilke - Gestures (1974) (Excerpt)

I was inmediately fascinated by this video piece on display at New York’s MoMA. It depicts a woman (Wilke) performing hundreds of gestures to the camera, for over 35 minutes! * Video: “Gestures“, a 1974 video performance by Hannah Wilke (1940-1993). The excerpt on this clip was recorded on September 3, 2011. * Audio: “That Was When The War Was On“ by Speck: * Camera: Olympus E-PL2, with the kit 14-42mm f3.5/5.6 (MSC) zoom lens
