If there is a male gaze – can there be a female gaze? Would it be the an opposite way of looking? What is the queer gaze and would it disrupt, decenter, destabilize the idea ways
of looking and being looked at?

Referring to different works of art, mainly cinema and photography, due to their inherent voyeuristic nature, Eye See You, You See Me builds a narrative that takes the readers on a journey from the original coining of the term “male gaze” through the feminist counter-reaction and inevitably ends up questioning
the binary stigma through the queer gaze.
