Exercises for Two Hands

synopsis

Footage shot simultaneously by Robakowski using two cameras attached to his arms play side-by-side on a split-screen. Controlled by his arbitrary arm movements, these two cameras tumble and roll as they capture a park and its surroundings without any regard to the perspective of the human eye.
