For Found Gestures (London) gestures of participants in the Five Years community are materialized as both 2D, printed diagrammatic drawings, and sculptural form, as 3D prints, describing past projects and events.
The diagrams include multiple viewpoints of the drawn gestural line, and are accompanied by transcriptions of the speech. The intrinsic relationship between these two elements, an exact duration, is made evident through the numbering system that punctuates both the drawn lines and the lines of text. Each diagram has a line segment that was selected to be made into a 3D print which, like gesture itself, conveys something of the speaker’s internal experience in an external, physical manner.
