The theme presented in the video ‘Why are you looking at me?’ is the encounter of two reflections of the same person. These are not good and bad sides of a person. On the contrary, both reflections are equally good and bad, but they refuse to accept each other.
The relationship between our vision of ourselves and the vision of others has been shown. Which one of those two is real? We are prone to putting masks in order to oppose the fear from ourselves. When it finally comes to confrontation, it can be very painful.
The scene, itself, has been set from different viewpoints, inspired by the one of the scenes from Ingmar Bergman’s movie “Persona”. When Alma is talking, in a form of monologue, about the essence of Elizabeth’s being, first we see Elizabeth’s facial reaction, then Alma’s expression while she is talking.
There are four cadres instead of two; they are displayed at the same time. The last two cadres are represented through observer’s points of view. There is a speechless dialog instead of monologue. They are communicating through gestures and glances, expressing the inner leavening.
