The I of the Beholder

 
 
 

In The I of the Beholder, Sung Im Her seeks to dance without the awareness of a perceiving audience, thereby trying ‘to show’ without the necessity to ‘be seen’. Her intention is to transcend everyday self-perception, typically mediated through others, and to discover whether in this way a more truthful sense of ‘I’ reveals itself or that the ‘I’ becomes meaningless and empty.
