"Private Moments" – a film from the workshop "What Does Privacy Sound, Feel and Look Like?"
Reetta’s pure essence
This is the first film from the artists’ workshop entitled “What Does Privacy Sound, Feel and Look Like?”. More details on the workshop, its objectives and an outline of the process can be found here.
Each artist was asked to develop a provocation related to the theme of on-line privacy. Here is Reetta’s provocation based on the theme of identity. The audience interact with Reetta to uncover aspects of her identity that she typically keeps hidden. This provocation helps VOME researchers to think about the different aspects of identity and identity management and some of the sense in which identity is negotiated.

Watching Reetta’s presentation you see a glimmer of Reetta as she really is, pre performance. A private moment of the actor captured. The moment before ‘going on’, when you don’t know for sure what will really happen as there is audience involvement and it all depends on how they accept your proposals, react and interact. Making sure you’re ready, in Reetta’s case: props, costume, makeup and music – not too high / not too low. Had the audience interrupted Reetta’s pre-set up, she would have had a momentary loss of control of the illusion she wished to create.
