Omnivoyeur. Commentary on The Truman Show, by Peter Weir

Lacan proposes that from our beginning we are objects offered to the gaze of the others, and that does not require to imagine an absolute Other that looks at us.

Because if it does so, then the gaze of an Omnivoyeur shows up, creating to the subject the illusion of being only what is seen. Lacan says that the subject of desire is not entirely trapped in this imaginary catch, as long as he is able to separate the function of the screen and play with it. Peter Weir´s film The Truman Show is, in that sense, an epic of the desire, as it tells the story of a character subjected to the gaze of millions of spectators of a reality show, and how he can get out of that confinement. Lacan plantea que desde el origen somos objetos dados a ver, sin que esto requiera imaginar un Otro absoluto que nos mire. Porque de suceder eso, se hace presente la mirada de un Omnivoyeur que genera la ilusión en el sujeto de quedar reducido a ser eso que se ve. Lacan aclara que el sujeto del deseo no queda enteramente atrapado en esa captura imaginaria, en tanto es capaz de aislar la función de la pantalla y jugar con ella. El film de Peter Weir The Truman Show es en este sentido una épica del deseo, en tanto narra la historia de un personaje sometido a la mirada de millones de espectadores de un reality show, y cómo logra salir de ese encierro.
