Editing Work Emelie:

There is only you I see

When I have sat and listened to a person who talks about another person, I started thinking about which of the persons who made ​​visible the most. The person who sits and talks in front of me or the person who is in the story? Both of them are helping to create each other through each other. Equally funny is it when I started editing the movie clips. It became clear after a while that through the conversation about me, it's just them and their personality I see.

If we asked someone else to tell our story about our behavior, personality, manner and so on.. Would we look at ourselves differently after?

To let someone else tell you about yourself is always a translation

To let someone else tell you about yourself is always a translation. First my inner self have to become external to my self. That means that I must put words on my thoughts and feelings and also look at my self from the outside. You can say that I translate my self to be able to talk and explaine about me to someone else. (It is a proces about the form and the formelss!) When I have put my formless thoughts and feelings into a form; words and language, the other person that I talked to also translate what I say into a there own" inner self state". And then the story about me comes out again from the other person in words- the form I first told have been translated again into a new form from the other person. Will the story about me be the same when we translate it over and over? Probably not. In a way we people always develope ourselves and we are in constant motion so we want it to be changed but we also want to put a finger on it so we can put words to actions and behavior. In a way what we both agree with becomes the truth, even if it´s about different views and thoughts, it feels like it's the shape we people always want to find in order to communicate and categorize. We want to sasy; This is you, and in a way we also then say I have made a form of the formless. But what about if we have different ways of being with different people? It can´t be so simple. If I bring together all things different people have to say about me into one hole story, and in a way creating a shapeless/formless mess. Maybe the viewer start to translate the formless stories into a new fixed-form and in one way also create a new individual, maby it the way to understand?
