Fingering and Footing, video
3:45 minutes, 2005.
Original music by Timo Elliston and Amy van Roekel.

Fingering and Footing examines the relationship between the purposeful gestures of actors and the unconscious reactions of everyday people appearing on television. During the making of Fingering and Footing, I made 6 unsuccesful attempts to become a contestant on the Price is Right game show. For each day that I sacrificed at least 8 hours of waiting, I received a name tag to signify my participation.
