In "The Perfect Human" whatever Leth is seeing he makes it know to the audience. "It is within this constant repetition of seeing, and of thinking about what we are seeing, that he prevents us from feeling the content of this repression" (86). Because we are prevented from feeling in Leth's piece Lars von Trier created "The Five Obstructions" to show the emotions that come along with the perfect human. He doesn't want to hide the feelings and emotions.
I think that when looking at Christopher William's work and the fact that he uses a commercial photographer to photograph what he set up is interesting and should be something we keep in mind for our next project while we set up rules. Maybe I will give it a try on restricting myself from photographing the subject. Leave the photographs up to chance.
Mark Wyse continues on using Eduardo Cadava and Paola Cortes-Rocca to show the divide between desire and intellect just like how Leth is trying to not express feeling while Trier in trying to bring about feeling.
