Project Detail

The Looking Game

Synopsis

Eyes are tracked and attentions plotted as a fictitious audience follows the narrator's orders. They are divided by the screen and though they try, neither can see through to the other side. We question the relationship's reciprocity, and start to feel a strange empathy for the narrator.
