Four Objects

The short video “Four Objects” explores an ensemble of artifacts from the Medical Science Collection at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of History. These objects never reveal themselves to the camera, but voice their history through speech synthesizers and a pair of gloved hands. A guessing game ensues, both intimate and disembodied.
