![](http://d349u4d5a1oxsk.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/title_poster/public/titles/thumbnails/howto5.jpg?itok=QhAPLR84)
Mother and daughter embrace the difficult intricacies of explaining art to each other through an intimate action. This is intercut with a straightforward description of Joseph Beuys’ well-known 1965 performance, How to explain pictures to a dead hare. Absurdity and terderness merge to reveal understanding as a sensory activity.
