It demonstrates the prevalence of the hand as a photographic theme; a result of photography's easy ability to capture fragments, details, and ephemeral movement. The images are discussed through topical texts: why hands are a unique theme, the prevalence of hands in Surrealist photogrpahs and prose, and the uncanny aspects of hands in contemporary art that uses photography. Contains work from 150 artists.

An exhibition held at the Guggenheim, June 4-September 8, 2004.
