Why can’t you just See me?

ΓΙΑΤΙ ΑΠΛΑ ΔΕΝ ΜΕ ΒΛΕΠΕΙΣ;

3 minutes – 2013 – short animation

ELENI TOMADAKI

Eleni Tomadaki is a visual artist based between London & Athens. Working interdisciplinary across moving image, installation, performance, text and digital media, she invents non-linear storytelling narratives to interrogate one’s relationship to the Other. She is interested in the multiple forms this Other can take, such as language, society, the law, one’s own self, or simply of another. Through examining these relationships, she explores themes around the trouble of identity, resistance and belonging/ not belonging. The distorted use of language in her work abdicates its legitimacy as a definite symbol.

Why can’t you just see me narrates in endless (but coherent) cycles the story of a woman who hopelessly attempts to secure a place in the heart of a very special person.

The film is a paint-on-glass, under-camera animation effort, a notoriously difficult process to animate.
