About the book
Leveraging the long history of hands in art and film? from the fetishistic symbolism of Surrealists Man Ray, Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel, to the nonchalant minimalism of choreographer and experimental filmmaker Yvonne Rainer? prominent New Zealand artist Steve Carr's 'Variations for Troubled Hands' lifts its title from an imagined technical manual for ballerinas. Featuring more than 200 photographs of Cadence? a teenage ballet prodigy apprenticed to the Royal New Zealand Ballet? Carr's debut book presents a serial composition in 12 parts, choreographed and performed by fingers, forearms, tendons, palms, wrists and thumbs. At once an interactive object and a performance space, Variations for Troubled Hands manifests the dynamics of movement, and invites us to dance with it.
