“Who Are You Wearing?” is an experimental film exploring themes of performing identity. It is an introspective look into how we present ourselves and a modern examination on a culture obsessed with physical appearances and how when we conform to these who do we become? Through visual and audible collage an overwhelming party atmosphere is created as the protagonist changes their mask, they fail to fit into the party and their reality fragments throughout the night. The film engages with the chaos and textural aspects of a party, the collage used looks to the fragmentation of the protagonist, contrasted by the live action and pixelation scenes where the audience is faced with a person wearing crocheted masks looking at and examining their costume and facing the anxiety to return to the party.
