The hands touches, transforms the material, works. It can be idle but it has its waves and it has its skin. Millau in Aveyron, capital of the glove, the hands are telling a story to one another. They handily turn the carnal envelope of the animal into an object of finery, artifice of seduction or symbol of power.
From hands to hands, they pass on a knowledge, an experiment of the gesture : a culture of the hand. From this epidermic relationship, from this transformation, emerges the proudness of the artefact and the feeling to exist.
Yet the economical rentability doesn't care with these considerations with this relationship between art and work.
