After a long legacy of game, literature and cinema it is easy to forget that the third person perspective is a purely invented perceptual construction, being now deeply rooted in contemporary western culture.

This brilliant experiment by Takehito Etani lifts the third person perspective from its various representations and maps it directly onto himself. As a result he becomes his own operator, his own player.. Here's a video of him taking himself for a walk in Times Square, New York.

Thnx Marta!
