Gestures, movements, are ephemeral, then forgotten. Traces is a publication that questions the way in which a gesture can be recorded, renewed and reconstituted. It explores the interaction, shaped by the publication, between the object and the reader: the large format forces the reader to move in what is almost a replica of the gesticulations(*) performed to generate the visuals.
(*) Short series of performative movements performed where arms and hands have been painted with tempera, which remains wet during the process: the traces of paint linger at the end of the performance.
