There's Something Behind Glass

Short film for the EYE RESEARCH Lab

Desiring someone/somebody/something, but knowing there is a certain ‘wall’ between you and the object of desire.

And also enjoying this element vice versa, being visible and being the element of desire.

And what happens when that wall falls away?

Are the fascination and the fantasy underneath sometimes better than reality itself?

-De problemen beginnen als bezoekster Yvonne de Horde uit Zoetermeer bij het gorillaeiland aankomt. Ze komt daar “bijna dagelijks”, want Bokito is “haar lieveling”, zegt ze twee dagen later in de Telegraaf: ''“Sinds hij in Blijdorp zit, maak ik contact met hem. Als ik mijn hand op het glas legde, deed hij hetzelfde. Als ik naar hem lachte, lachte hij terug.”''
