The ghost lies on the floor, legs spread out. She seems relaxed. Though, if one would look closer, there is a small spasm in her left knee, twitch, like a tiny electro shock. She holds her phone in both hands, fingers resting on the screen. Her thumbs are employed by a huge tech company to rest and tap on different ads popping up on her screen. She will get 0.6 % of an average income because after biomechanical calculations her hands make up 0.6 % of her whole body mass. While lying there she's dreaming about machines, stumbling around like sleepless workers who are trying to shake off the feeling of always being in debt.
The world is whirling from strong winds and the horizon leans forward. In »handle with care« five characters – the ghost, the slow cancellation of the future, the equilibrium, the eternal boy and the escapist – navigate on shaky grounds. With empty hands they are constantly balancing things, fixing things, breaking things, humans-in-the-loop.
