A woman gazes out over a landscape. In the first part, with her hand above her eyes, as if to see it better. In the second part, with her hand on her forehead, as if to shield herself from something. In the last part, with her hands stroking close to desparation over her head. The images are in starkly contrasting black-and-white, with an occasional dark blue sheen. Now and then the planes with which the face is 'constructed' flow completely over into those of the landscape in the background. At those moments, the images become abstract and apart from reality. The viewer then loses track. But in a flash the face becomes once again distinguishable, especially when the artist directs her eyes at the viewer. The silence of the tape and the slow movement of the images, throw the viewer over and over again back upon himself. The title seems also to refer to him.
