Women that turn

A woman stands with her back turned towards me. When I leave, she turns around. Or – is the woman on the screen turned around by me? Seen… and the back stare back at you… accentuating it with a twitch. Too close… and you get caught! Women that turn presents women as objects tied down to a set of fantasies about how a woman should present herself. She distances herself from the viewer who is coming too close and she reacts on being the canvas for the controlling male glance. Women that turn displays looped videos of 10 different women. A precise study in the shift between twitches and movement; an illustration of women that sense the glance and reacts with small movement of discomfort.
