You Don’t See Me

Synopsis:

Eve, an old performer, muses on ageing and the formation of identity as she applies her make up in a backstage dressing room. As the film progresses it becomes increasingly surreal as the piece explores the fluidity of self and the disparity between how we are seen by others and the expectation in our mind. The animation was influenced by the words of performance artists Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver. It uses an amalgamation of borrowed words and references to film and paintings.
