Nightmare from three perspectives

Project of the month: A Blink of an Eye

projects

Three perceptions of only one truth - hers, his and ours: A woman walks home at night. She is overwhelmed from behind by a stranger. He grabs her and tries to rip off her clothes. They fight. The point of view switches between man and woman. Reality and fears blur into each other. A new point of view is involved: eyewitnesses who live in surrounding houses. They look down to an escaping perpetrator and a helpless victim. But for the woman herself this situation is not so clear.

A Blink of an Eye is told from multiple perspectives. This is important to show that SHE is walking on the street. HE sees her and decides to commit a crime. WE see a woman alone on the street at night and she is raped because of it. It could be any other woman in such a situation. The perpetrator alone is responsible. Unfortunately, society continues to blame those who suffer.
