A VOYEURS BODY
look away to see yourself.
Born with an unusual defect that left her without a navel, she grows up feeling like she doesn’t quite belong. Her body and her being carry traces of something foreign, something she cannot understand. To escape this strangeness, she develops a fascination with watching — always the observer, never the participant. But when she encounters a man, her fear of closeness begins to give way, turning into obsession. Gradually, her watching crosses boundaries: from distance to intimacy, from desire to intrusion.
The A Voyeurs Body tells the story of a woman on the edge of punishment and redemption — a film where voyeurism pervades every frame, and where her desire to observe might be closer to us all than we dare to admit.

The idea for A Voyeur’s Body began with the notion that, unlike guilt, shame is something that defines you as a person. It doesn’t relate to an action but to who you are — something that clings to you and cannot be escaped, because it’s tied to your own perception of yourself.
Today, shame feels amplified. We are constantly confronted with our own image, endlessly watching and evaluating ourselves. Watching, however, always creates distance — it turns us into observers of our own lives. The world becomes something estranged, where everything is only a depiction: a depiction of love, of normality, of what it means to be human.
The only truly human thing that remains is the desire to close the gap — that irreconcilable space between you and the thing you see.
