Hive - Still Here

Participants were asked to count, in their first language, up to an assigned number, walking amongst the group as they counted and becoming still when they reached their number.
Walking through a cacophony of sound (entrance to a train station); the invisible link of a shared purpose; a ritual (chanting, saying a rosary); a burst of speaking that settles into individual pace/rhythm/choices (conversation resumed after an opening speech); watching people who know they can't stop until they finish the task (exercise); watching a game whose rules you don't know.
