A body occupies space, but how freely it can move within gravity? A trained gesture
makes a body a social being, but often not in a lucid form. There is a conscious act of
intimacy, dependency, ignorance or enmity, but some acts lose control and expose
unrecognizable gestures. Prithi invited people from diverse backgrounds into her

Dhaka dwellers often hide their personal moments from the public, but her studio
acted as a parallel reality where two bodies are open to interact. It was an attempt to
overcome known gestures and comfort. Ordinary people performed to express the
inexpressible, and formed an unrehearsed affinity.
