HAND MOVIES
Vienna – in the frame of the Surgical Wrappings-research project a trilogy of HAND MOVIES is being produced. Inspired by the performance artist and choreographer Yvonne Rainer, three five minute videos are developed in the operating theater of plastic surgery.

“The hand of the surgeon is not simply a precision tool for getting things right. It is also an empathetic and creative extension of the feelings–the hand of the surgeon feels for the body of the patient. There is a tremendous tenderness in this relationship.
Hand Movie 1 opens with an extreme close-up on a pair of hands folded contemplatively as if in prayer, except they are covered in sterile gloves tucked into the arms of a surgical gown. The two thumbs support one another, bouncing together in rhythm as if performing in dialog the inner thoughts of the surgeon as he plots his first steps. It is as if the surgeon is limbering up for the performance ahead, stretching the fingers as a pianist might do before an important performance for which there has been no time to warm up. But there is never the opportunity for a surgeon to rehearse on a living body. All cuts are a true live performance.”

I am one of possibly many who are pelexerpd when it comes to finding myself a local dermatologist adequately versed in the NuDerm Obagi Maintenance protocol or any standardized follow up protocol at all.I have been grossly disappointed by one who immediately, once my initial 18 weeks was over so was any involvement with any Obagi product, not even Tretinoin. I was steered to a completely different line of products without any maintenance protocol or explanation. Hence the reason that within 2-3 years the sun damage had naturally been reappearing but I was not longer using Hydroquinone or Tretinoin either.I have been treated for a number of actinic keratosis spots which are treated with liquid nitrogen.Since that first dematologist 7 years ago when I was first introduced to Obagi NuDerm, I have seen 3 other dermatologists and I even gave the first one another chance in the off chance that we had gotten off on the wrong foot but to my dismay I was right the first time. Business for her is so good she has her own separate medical building now.Bottomline is do your home work, obtain referrals if at all possible and when all else fails always trust your gut instinct.Remember that thank goodness, we have Dr. Obagi and his highly competent staff to confer with.Many, Many thanks to you all for being here for us!In the past
