  • In her videos and objects made of ceramic, plexiglass, vinyl, or acrylic, Barbara Kapusta examines the relationship between body, material, and language. The video Soft Rope follows a human hand as it explores a black rope. The attentive, precise movements are repeatedly interrupted by hard cuts. The slow probing of the object and the sensory communication between person and thing convey a friction that is almost physically palpable. Kapusta documents this process of grasping, of seeing with the hand, in a grainy black-andwhite film. The artist has also captured the resulting experiences in a poem that accompanies the moving image.
