The Other

Arash Akhgari
Canada 2020 / 3’46”

We are constantly in conversation with the Other, either symbolically or literally. In the process of responding to the symbolic Other, it is hard to tell if the response is to the subject or our own projection. This animation tries to visualize this question within the social contact of an individual or a crowd.
