Hear Me

1979 • Directed by

Helena Almeida

Muteness. Muteness as a limit, voluntarily voiceless, a self-imposed silence.

A human figure - the artist herself - first gestures the word behind a scenery paper that functions as a membrane. After successive approaches of the mouth to the paper in which we deduce that the artist shouts the word "ouve-me", she then writes it with her finger, and finally with a pen she scratches the word.
