In cinema everything begins with a look. Friedl vom Gröller seeks alternatives. A 16 mm projector is set up; the light is directed toward the camera – blinding the viewer. The protagonist is blinded too, the eyes almost always blindfolded. They eavesdrop on a reading, while in the movie theater the sound is muted. Only toward the end is the lack of sight overcome. The reader turns to face the camera: inscrutable, enigmatic.
