For Those Who Listen
While in conversation we receive more than 50% of a message from body language. For Those Who Listen is a photo series of communicative gestures native to various countries around the world. The project, which acts as an international survey on non-verbal communication, is a contemporary take on Bruno Munari’s 1958 book Speak Italian: The Fine Art of the Gesture.
