What we do in dreams we also do when we are awake: we invent and fabricate the person with whom we associate – and immediately forget we have done so. (Friedrich Nietzsche (1973). Beyond Good and Evil. London: Penguin, p. 101)
Seven directors from the fields of theatre, cinema, documentary and television were invited to play a game with three rules. Each director was asked to rehearse the phrase “I want you to trust me” with the same actress and produce a film of this interaction. I provided a rehearsal studio, a film crew and editing facilities. The seven films were combined into a feature-length film and screened asynchronously in an installation of three monitors.
