Appearing in the “Turning Images” series are books and the hands that turn their pages.
To read a book, we turn its pages with our own hands,
yet the hands that should come into view remain outside our awareness, apart from the text in the book.
The hands that appear in this series’ videos are the forces that control books already printed with text.
The turning of pages and the flow of the video: these two temporalities are out of sync.
Text, books, hands turning pages, video. It is the viewers who connect them, and who separate them.
What appears on the display is a single layered surface, with all of them still undifferentiated.
