Tim Wes – “Face Me”

Dutch director Puck Litaay (previously featured here) offers up a stylish twist to the typical peepshow set up in this video for Tim Wes. “Face Me” follows three people who pay to take their seat, only to start dancing for the entertainer who barely seems to notice them. As Litaay explains further:

“The voyeur becomes the entertainer, wanting nothing more than to feel seen and desired. Lost in this strange power dynamic they will do anything to feel seen: even pay…. [It] represents the vicious circle of a relationship where two people are unequal to each other. A video about losing ourselves in our desire to love, be loved and feel seen.”
