The video displays two pairs of phantom hands on back-to-back LED screens. Lit like the blue of an X-ray scanner, the hands belong to a dancer, whose gestural movements have been captured with motion sensors and translated into animation. The gestures include those of religious blessing, military signal, and political persuasion or protest. They are willful – a command or a direction – as well as less conscious, an excess of signal that ultimately escapes words.
