How Much?
Marieke Verheyen
Netherlands
1989
"Sitting and waiting, watching.
Waiting for somebody to come.
Impossible to avoid the looks.
Eye to eye, at both sides of the glass.
A secret remains a secret.
Invisibility a mutual concern.
In How Much?, shot with a hidden camera, prostitution is shown from a prostitute's perspective, for a change. The camera is on her side, and breaks through the secrecy. The one that looks gets looked at; voyeurism switched round.
