In his new video work HANDWALK, Ronnie van Hout’s own hands perform in an alien landscape creating an uncanny tension between reality and fantasy. His absurd gesture creates a cognitive dissonance whereby the hands continually slip into the guise of human figures. The red and blue theatrical lighting adds a surreal atmosphere to this sweet tale of the left and right hands meeting and getting on.
