Sinopse

The continual availability of news on our laptops, televisions and smartphones makes us perpetual witnesses to complex situations on the other side of the world, feeling unease due to the confrontation with poverty and desperation. The news camera is not neutral; intentionally or unintentionally, those who are filmed are framed as victims. Before they know it, the socially conscious viewer is dragged into a vortex of guilt and shame. What if the news were to turn and look at its witnesses; what if the protagonists on the evening news were to look us in the eye? — Studio Dries Verhoeven

This performance is experienced individually, with one person entering at a time, every 10 minutes.
