The How We Look Project
Overview
The How We Look Project is a collection of three short narrative films about dwarf culture and identity, created and performed by Little People (LPs). Each film centers one act of image-making, from renaissance portraiture, to sideshow photography, to medical imaging. APPOINTMENT: three LPs named Avery visit a doctor who is more fascinated with his own medical technology than the patients before him. CARNIVAL: Jessica and her “ Midget troupe” pose for a 1924 souvenir postcard. But this moment of commodification also offers Jessica rare hope to reach her disappeared lover and the outside world. COURT: While Fabio, a Court Dwarf in 1572 Italy endures the uncomfortable act of being painted, he wonders if this image can be a means of communicating with future dwarfs.
