The Game, 2021

Human hands have been depicted across cultures for centuries, from prehistoric cave paintings to palmistry charts. They serve as both subjects and canvases, even in ceremonial settings. In this context, hands are viewed from a first-person video game perspective, divided into chromatic areas with corresponding names. They reflect the current state of affairs—political, social, economic—in both digital and analog worlds. Themes like misinformation, environmental exploitation, and political polarization emerge, echoing themes from Jean Renoir’s film, "The Rules of the Game." Is this current state akin to a global game, played out through our digital devices and social platforms? What are the rules, especially in the shifting landscape of the post-pandemic era?
