Hello Mr. Giovannni macello
( Grass hopper )
while I walked slowly to wake up ,
I met him suddenly.
He stare at me quietly
I stare at him calmly, too.
As if we knew each other a long time ago
we looked at each other for a long time.
As if I met someone we missed
Nonverbal communication, which refers to communication methods
other than direct verbal expression, includes gaze processing,
facial expressions, hand movements, body language, and distance maintenance.
Among these nonverbal communication methods, the method of

delivering stories through gaze.
a motionless gaze
sparkling eyes
tiny movemont of body
Looking into each other's eyes
We talked.
in a very calm manner
We looked at each other for five minutes.
a motionless posture
I can see he moved a little bit from side by side
But Mr.Giovanni Macello didn't move that much
I blew the wind for a moment.
He stared at me in spite of my mischief.
He has a pretty serious personality.
The above story is a project that I started experimenting with in the Benetton Research Residency.
700 million years ago, humans and other beings evolved from one root.
I started this project because we wondered if we could remember
the language we communicated in the past, even though we were
subdivided into our own languages and behaviors.
I tried a lot of different ways to talk to insects, and you can see the record
through the green button above.
