THE GAZE
₨ 1,495
An obese woman and her lover, a dwarf, are sick of being stared at wherever they go, and so decide to reverse roles. The man goes out wearing makeup and the woman draws a mustache on her face. But while the woman wants to hide away from the world, the man meets the stares from passers-by head-on, compiling his ‘Dictionary of Gazes’ to explore the boundaries between appearance and reality. Intertwined with the story of a bizarre freak show organized in Istanbul in the 1880s, The Gaze considers the damage that can be inflicted by our simple desire to look at others.
