Social Dance

Directed by Momose Aya

A documentary that re-enacts a woman's conversation with her ex-partner – depicts the discrepancies present in the visual mode of communication that is sign language. Using an interview that she conducted with a deaf female dancer, the artist wrote a narrative based on the interviewee's personal experience, which became the basis of the work. In the video, a woman lies in bed talking through sign language to her ex-partner.
