Movement Of My Father

Mobile phone video – 00min16

The mobile phone video was created from an exploration at home on the question from the Absurd Questionnaire for father/fathers 

__________________________

The video was recorded at home in the second lab on the topic of fathers. 

The video shows two hands up to the elbow in slow motion. They hang in the air next to each other. The right hand begins to move in slow motion towards the other hand before it finally grabs the other person’s hand at a fast pace and holds it up. The background of the video is grey, the light flickers a lot. 

I wanted to talk about PDA and how my father always grabbed his wives by the hand and walked through the city like this.

Which of our father’s movements do I remember?

How can I break them down into one movement?

What happens when I perform this movement myself?

What sociological imprints do I subjectively and retrospectively read into this movement?

What subjective emotion do I associate with it?
