Yang Ah Ham

Invisible Clothes

Fiction expérimentale | hdv | couleur | 13:31 | Coree du Sud | 2008

`Invisible Clothes` is a quasi-sci-fi film about the conversation between a scientist and a fashion stylist on invisible clothes, reflects upon one`s ego constituted by the gaze of others and the subject perceiving that ego. An abundance of metaphors and satire exposes the absurdity of contemporary society, which constantly produces human desire. "The Other holds a secret-the secret of what I am. He makes me be, and thereby he possesses me, and this possession is nothing other than the consciousness of possessing me. (...) the Other steals my being from me." - Jean-Paul Sartre
