Moi aussi, je regarde is an experimental documentary film which portrays widely reproduced building the unité d’habitation in Marseille by Atelier Le Corbusier through the stories of its female inhabitants in an attempt to give the building its own agency to not only be looked at but to be empowered to look back in the masculine world of modernity.

The director | Ingel Vaikla

Ingel Vaikla (1992, Tallinn) is a visual artist and a filmmaker based in Brussels working primarily with video, 16 mm analogue film and found footage. Vaikla’s artistic practice focuses on rethinking the representation of architecture through the relationship spaces have with their communities. She is on a constant search for visual language that would not simply observe architecture as a sculptural form but would translate the existential, conceptual and ideological qualities spaces manifest. Her filmic works The House Guard, Roosenberg, Double Exposure, Papagalo, What’s the Time?, EUR42 and Moi aussi, je regarde have been screened internationally at film festivals and art institutions such as IDFA in Amsterdam, AFFR in Rotterdam, Kunsthalle Wien, EKKM in Tallinn, Beursschouwburg and Bozar in Brussels, Manifesta 13 in Marseille, Videonale in Bonn, Tramway in Glasgow, EMAF in Osnabrück, Busan International Video Art Festival etc.
