"I mean the camera is on, doesn’t that mean we are already performing? Do you think it is performance without the presence of another? And really what I’m asking is whether someone needs to be watching?
Maybe identities are performed, re-enacted, re-enacted…a continual expansive flow of performances and performing.
Sometimes we notice each other and sometimes we don’t. But here there is no opportunity for understanding, here communication is impossible.
But I see you. The camera is on." — Elena Betros
