Nancy Lee and Simran Sachar: These hands are still at work

This dance film brings together two longtime collaborators Nancy Lee and Simran Sachar. These hands are still at work features wh/aacking infused with gestural elements performed by cyborg-like characters (portrayed by choreographer, dance artist, and actor Sachar, inspired by Corporate HR, Gen Z social media reels and early 2000s computer-generated characters), along with site-specific projection user interface design by media artist Lee. The resulting artwork portrays the power of movement, migration, and labour in a more-than-human world.

These hands are still at work was commissioned by FORM (Festival of Recorded Movement). FORM screens and commissions films that explore the limitless possibilities of the body in motion through film and provides a platform for youth and emerging artists. These hands are still at work is a part of the Kinesthesia fall exhibition and performance series.
