+In 1972, [[tag:person:fred_forest|Fred Forest]]((http://www.webnetmuseum.org)) traveled down to Fontevrault in central France, where the Flussers had settled soon after their return to Europe after 30 years in Brazil. He brought with him his Portapak excited at the prospect of doing some radical explorations of the potential of video for transforming society. Flusser saw in the collaboration with Forest an opportunity to develop his discourse on the gestures, a discourse for which video was particularly suited, in ways that extended radically from those available with the written word.

-in 1972, Fred Forest traveled down to Fontevrault, where the Flusser's had settled soon after their return to Europe after 30 years in Brazil. He brought with him his portapak excited at the prospect of doing some radical explorations of the potential of video for transforming society. Flusser saw in the collaboration with Forest an opportunity to develop his discourse on the gestures, a discourse which video was particularly capable of conveying in ways that extended radically from those available with the written word.
+===== description =====
-Two videos were shot on the same day with Flusser extemporizing freely in both speech and physical gesture on the phenomenology of Gestures.  It is evidently a hot sunny day, Flusser has removed his shirt and is dressed only from the belt down, this accentuates the presence of the body of the thinker as part of its thought. Another salient feature is the projects of strong shadows of the gesticulating flusser on a wall.
