the upper steeple

The Upper Steeple is one of the gestures in body language. It appears as the fingers of both hands joined together and pointing upwards. This gesture is typically used by the speaker, while the “Lower Steeple”, by contrast, symbolizes listening. In this work, we are interested in exploring the limits of how political figures manipulate us — above all through body language.
