Metacarpus
(EXPERIMENTAL - 7 minutes, 27 seconds)
Nicole Triche
We often take for granted the amazing tools that live on the end of our arms. We use our hands everyday to accomplish a range of tasks from the menial to the sublime. The human hand has the ability to create as well as communicate. 'Metacarpus' examines the human hand with the aid of an orthopedic surgeon, jazz pianist, origami artist, sign language interpreter, classical guitarist, henna hand painter, baseball umpire, and slight-of-hand magician. With their help 'Metacarpus' takes a closer look at the world's oldest tool.
