Plot
The filmmaker and visual artist Rea Tajiri combines classic cinematic moments with her own overlaid text, establishing a sly tension between the magicians of cinema, who craft powerful illusions, and the anonymous audience member, who imposes their own interpretations and machinations upon the work. Both are located out of sight, on either side of the screen, illustrating Tjiri’s assertion: “When I’m watching / you won’t see me.”
