The Weight of Women's Eyes

1995 · 6 min

A brief, watchful mood piece that lingers on glances and desire, more like a moving photograph than a story.

Overview
"I know you want me". Eyes wander across bodies dancing in the bar, hinting at the surface, not touching. Forbidden desires become playful streetwise sex, exploring the dynamics of watching and being watched. Originally produced as part of the two channel video installation "Girllie Movies" in "Fantasmagoria: Sexing the Lesbian Imaginary", first exhibited at the New Gallery in Calgary in 1993 by the lesbian art collective Lock Up Your Daughters.
