The
action of passing your hands over the surface of an old carpenter’s
table elicits an aural response from audio speakers around the small
room. A couple impart their bodily passion while other voices disclose
mysterious dream-like events reminiscent of a cinematic suspense
thriller. These voices mingle among the familiar sounds of a car
screeching, telephone ringing, a knife being sharpened, a gun shot,
movie music, a woman softly reciting the alphabet. The viewers’ hands
orchestrate this collage, composing layered and provisional tales.
