I Look at Them but They don´t Know I Exist…
Choreographic fragments on solitude in the most capitalist country of the world
I Look at Them but They Don’t Know I Exist stems from the contemplative act of observing the city from above, often during moments of loneliness and sadness. It captures the natural choreography that continuously and phenomenologically unfolds within the urban landscape. In this narrative, a distinct type of movement emerges: the straight line. This linear motion, typically performed by solitary individuals who are too pressed for time to pause, often walking at a hurried pace, offers insight into what we might call the pulse of contemporary capitalist society.
Through these visual choreographic observations, paired with music by G. Fauré, a sense of nostalgia or melancholy arises, leading us to an existential question: “Where are we rushing to, and why are we so alone on the way?”
