Agave to check the touch

Kaneko Naoya (JP)

Is the agave only to be admired as it spreads out its magnificent hands to bask in the sun? There are times when a tender feeling arises in the midst of the poorness of a baby’s crawling. Isn’t this another truth? The upside-down agave in this video is the motion-captured movement of a human body feeling warmth on a blanket, mapped onto a 3D model of a flowerpot rigged to the shape of a human body. Can you feel the sincerity and brightness in the seemingly chaotic movements?
