Four Hands (2001)

This film explores the connection between three generations – a boy, his father, mother, and grandmother – through the repeated movements of their hands. The film carefully depicts four sets of hands performing specific gestures drawn from sources like Buddhist rituals and historical charts of hand-reading, which link gestures to emotions. The creator, Viola, describes the work as a timeline connecting the present actions of the family with the broader stages of human life. It's part of 'The Passions,' a series inspired by old European religious paintings that examines human feelings.
