Now I’m Turning to Face You

Now I’m Turning to Face You 1982

The filmmaker and visual artist Rea Tajiri combines classic cinematic moments with her own overlaid text, establishing a sly tension between the magicians of cinema, who craft powerful illusions, and the anonymous audience member, who imposes their own interpretations and machinations upon the work. Both are located out of sight, on either side of the screen, illustrating Tjiri’s assertion: “When I’m watching / you won’t see me.”

Documentary footage of the Warsaw Ghetto is cycled several times, as hand-drawn animated lines gradually overwhelm the photo-based images. The sound track's recited narrative compounds itself to produce an eventual cacophony. These over-lays raise silent questions about how we preserve events in history and in our private pasts.
