Every reflection is already an interpretation, filtered through ideological matrices, cultural codes and personal delusions. What do we really see? The visual-sound performance That's you. What do you see? deconstructs the act of perception, directing it beyond the visual domain and shifting the focus to listening – not only as a physical act, but as an epistemological, political and existential strategy. Seeing is often passive, saturated with pre-given meanings, but listening is always radical: it requires presence, encounter, responsibility. That's you. What do you see? makes an experiment in the endurance of one's own authenticity in the face of the reflections of the audience system. The voice becomes an instrument of resistance, the text pulsates between manifestos, while thought fragments and recombines in the spaces between sound and symbol. Through rhythmic tension and conceptual decomposition of social norms, That's you. What do you see? considers issues of control, internalized hierarchies and collective consent
to narratives of power. Who tells us what we see? Who has determined who we are? And, more importantly, who has prescribed the limits of what we can be? In a time when image is a weapon of manipulation and identity is a market currency, That's You. What Do You See? invites a radical introspection. Not one that is satisfied with the surface, but one that insists on the raw truth.
