FUTURE GESTURES 4
SHOLDERING
INSTRUCTION
1.Stand next to each other, that your left shoulders touch each other
2. Lean your head on a shoulder of other person.
3.Stay in this position as long as you want.
4. Change
MEANING
Placing your hand on someones shoulder is a show of sympathy and trust. Placing your head on someones shoulder conveys intimacy and comfort, but also protection and care. In both situations there is one participant which is active and another which is passive, implying some sort of power play or dependence. The shouldering reframes those gestures as reciprocal, creating a mutual action of touch, sympathy and comfort.

FUTURE GESTURES_3
THE FINGERTIPS GOODBYE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Take the hand of the other.
2. Touch the fingertip above the nail under the nail.
3. Reapet for all fingertips.
4. Switch roles, let the other touch your fingertips.
MEANING
A wave goodbye is too short to contain emotion.
The finger goodbye goes against the hasty
goodbye. By touching each finger we prolong the
ritual of separation emphasising the anticipation
of meeting again.

In a world which is gradually becoming less tangible, the gestures of greeting can evolve into something more than a symbol of tradition or cultural identity. The greeting gesture makes emotions tangible, reviving the necessity of human touch.

The handshake is used as a greeting gesture but it originates from a gesture of agreement. Therefore we have transformed the handshake into a process of adapting and achieving equilibrium between two people.
