The first feminist gesture is to say: “OK, they’re looking at me. But I’m looking back at them.” The act of deciding to look, of deciding that the world is not defined by how people see me, but how I see them.' ― Agnès Varda
Moi aussi, je regarde is an experimental documentary film by Ingel Vaikla that portrays the Unité d’habitation building in Marseille, designed by Atelier Le Corbusier. By telling the stories of its female inhabitants, Vaikla attempts to give agency to the building itself: no longer just an object to be looked at, it looks back at the masculine world of modernity that surrounds it.
In Wishful Filming, a pedestrian – the filmmaker Sarah Vanagt equipped with a tiny pocket camera – wanders through Brussels and encounters Polish, Iranian, Brazilian, Belgian, and Moroccan workers, who slip small pieces of paper into the columns, the walls, and the floors of construction sites: secret wishes intended for future generations.
As she roams the city, filming the messages hidden behind the bricks, beneath the cobblestones, on the traffic poles and at the base of statues, the wanderer thinks: 'You may be walking on a builder’s wish.'
