Whites Going In mimics the form of the essay film to test the hypothesis that otherness may be reconceived as Whiteness, albeit prosthetically enhanced, so as to problematize its status as an embodied construct that moves through time and space. With each location, the notion of privilege is apprehensively entertained through the subjective lens of implanted points of insertion. Whites Going In weaves a multi-layered dystopia held together by an ongoing narrative of a foreign woman who struggles to make sense of her own status in face of the other. |
