The Gaze is a video by the artist Ardıl Yalınkılıç based on a series of interviews he conducted in The Hague during his exchange study. He invited six white fellow art students from different European countries to participate in the interview and he asked them to answer his questions pretending to be himself. The only things they knew about Yalınkılıç were his name and that he came from Turkey. The final edit of the answers of the Western subjects imitating the non-Western one brings truths and seated cliches about the other altogether, with certain empathy but also an impenetrable gap in mutual understanding.
