Caress

Video, 2020, repeated silent video in colour, 4min53sec

Caress is a video that shows nothing more than a gesture of caressing a dog. Slowly and tenderly, a lady’s hands were touching on the furred body of a sleeping dog. Repeatedly, continuously. Only when a few times were the dog awaked by alertness the hands stopped. As if something offscreen interrupted this intimate moment.

Then the hands started again, calming down not only the animal but our gaze, as well.
