A Third Gesture Item looks at the flotsams, the constant tide of materials being washed on the shores of sidewalks, filling categories of wasteland allegories. A Third Gesture is holding a hand underneath a shape to see what else it might become, flipping it on the surface of time like a flat stone being hurled over the water surface to observe its gravitational negotiation. Each contact takes it further until the speed does not sustain, is not enough and the stone sinks to the bottom of the sea, where the tide and waves are moving it again. There is a beginning, an ending here and a question: What now, what else? The third gesture opens a new linearity that takes the end as a start. - martinsiewekes Webseite!
