I asked my Mother to perform while I sat opposite and filmed her face at close-range. I asked her to look at me as if she did not know me, as if I had not come from her. I used the camera as a third eye to record the experience.My intention was to distance myself from her, so that when one of us departs this earth it will be easier to grieve. Instead, it brought us closer together. It was only a performance - the device between us could never capture or portray the truth of our relationship.
