Is Behaviorism reliable?
Behavior may only act as a possible disposition but can one escape this projection? How different mental experiences produce different understandings of this hand game?
I wanted to test out how can hand movements reflect human character and emotion. - Thing T. Thing (Addams family style) Themes of sexuality, competition and gender hegemonies drive the plot. Sound Design made to mimic the extremely personal interaction between humans, their feelings and physical fatigue.
