Yawning, Yawning, Yawning
"0 friend unseen, unborn, unknown
Read out my words at night, alone...
And for a reason still unsung
Like me, my friend, you'Il yawn and yawn."
- Walt Whitman
Can we transmit non-verbal expressions via moving images?
This project explores the concept of yawning, as a contagious physiological human characteristic, and the way it could be communicated and spread through images.
I created a series of video-clips, from the more abstract to the more obvious, which aim at communicating a yawn; and documented the effects on an audience.
