Gestures (1999)

Directed by Christian Marclay

· 9m

Gestures captures Christian Marclay's hand scratching, crossing out, and counteracting the speed of rotation of records placed on turntables. His gestures alter the analog nature of the recording and transform the vinyls into real musical instruments. The black vinyls are cut, glued, "prepared" in the sense that John Cage's pianos were, and compose a multicolored patchwork, the backdrop of this visual and sound quartet.
