Hand over book (touching you) // Evelyn Whorrall-Campbell

“I am an artist who loves hands. What a wonder! They can do so many things: touching, stroking, grabbing, tickling, pinching, slapping, holding. I am an artist who also loves books. Now think of all the things they can hold. Even though the pages are often thin, they can carry a great deal. Imagine a book within a book, that would be something. You could turn two pages with one digit, as it were. A digital caress. Smooth surfaces and a slipping out of sight. Turn the camera on, another caress. Click.”

EVELYN WHORRALL-CAMPBELL is an MPhil student in Film and Screen Studies at Pembroke College, Cambridge. She is currently swimming in posthuman waters.
