HABILIS - Gesture, mind and matter

An artist-photographer and anthropologist’s view of hands at work. Montreal and Paris are teeming with creativity and know-how. Here, craftsmen and women learn, practice and pass on trades that are sometimes under threat of extinction, but often undergoing a renaissance. HABILIS means creating an object from scratch, or giving a second life to something all too loved. At the heart of this journey are passionate people whose creative pulse emits from their fingertips.
