Two pairs of hands draw spaces against a black backdrop. Filmed with finger-tutting experts, The moving museum constructs a flexible building that is in constant motion. Evoking the coordinates of three-dimensional space, the videos run simultaneously on three screens, two of which are positioned at a right angle to one another on a purpose-built table, while the third is embedded directly in the tabletop.
