"Screen Portraits” is a series of 10 short (~30sec.) looping videos. Each video in the series was shot on the New York City subway and captures a passenger's interaction with his/her phone. The video has been edited frame-by-frame to call attention to the elegant/strange/absurd hand "choreographies" that our constant use of handheld screens has engendered.
