Despite the fact that this montaged group of photographs is recording some kind of activity, it is an artwork that is more about creating a mood than a record of a particular event. A variety of interpretations can apply to these scenes. Are the hands those of a magician entertaining the surrounding crowds? Or simply a visual communication between people using their hands?
