A 5' writing

"When the artist's name is at the midpoint, the hands begin to clap in a regular rhythm, stiff and pointed, coming together at the horizontal center of the screen, a prayer pose at each meeting of the hands. Clap. Clap. Clap. It continues. After about 30 secondes, words are surimposed. I'm walking. Clap. Clap. Clap. A minute and a half later another phrase. I'm jumping. The dapping continues, never stops. I'm running. Clap. Clap. Clap. Approximately 4 minutes in, the hands stop clapping and hover above the keyboard, palms away from the camera as if about to tap the keys, and the clapping sound is replaced by typing. I'm writing is superimposed over the image of the hands, and immediately the sans serif letters dissolve into a typewriter font: I am writing. With the sound of a carriage return, the words fade away, then the hands".
