A rose is a rose / One rose and another, kind of rose

Abstract

A tale of two women, a chair and a broom. On everyday, involuntary, and socially-determined bodily gestures. On social and gender dissymmetry and inequalities. On cognitive and physical labour. On regulated and unregulated time. On written and oral language. On still and moving bodies. On certain gestures made with the hands and their evolution over time. On one woman and another woman. On several women. On things that do not get to be seen and are lost in the mist.
