Studying Gaze is a piece of paper...
Central to this piece, is the idea of gaze as an act containing the viewer’s position, that creates hierarchies and meanings between the looker and the one being looked at.
And of course, this same setup is repeated in a performance: you look at me, but do you notice that I’m looking right back at you? Do you see me?
