Love By Hands

The art of love through touch.

Original title: Através do Toque

A collage-style video essay that explores the idea of love through touch. Guided by fragments of films, paintings, photographs, and other visual images, a sensorial and poetic narrative is constructed around the protagonists of Alan Stephens Foster's painting "The Fall." Like a moving moodboard, the work connects different artistic and cultural expressions to portray gestures of affection, desire, care, and presence between diverse bodies. All of this through the hands.
