If you were a man

“If you were a man” is a study of four men concerning a profound reprogramming of listening. If sounds produced by movements and breaths were decrypted in good time, so many things could be avoided, things could not happen and one could learn to listen properly to a silent body. The beauty of a silent conversation brings about unexpected outcomes… Even little noises or body strategies can be an early announcement of a coming conflict.
