Constraint n°004
Gestural Lipogram
Spend an entire day without your dominant hand.
Spend an entire day without using your dominant hand. For everything. Eating, writing, opening doors, washing yourself.
Instructions
- Upon waking, put an elastic band or bracelet on your dominant wrist. That's the reminder. This hand doesn't exist today.
- Continue your normal day. All your usual activities... with your other hand only.
- Each time you reflexively use your dominant hand, note it. No punishment... just observation.
- At the end of the day, write by hand with your non-dominant hand the list of everything you couldn't manage to do.
- Post this handwritten text on the site. The clumsy writing is part of the work.
Variants
Do it for half a day only if a full day is impossible.
Work with a single hand in both directions... non-dominant hand in the morning, dominant hand in the afternoon. Compare.
