A mobile photo studio and acclaimed interactive art experience that allows kids to turn the camera back on their parents.

Children are given permission to observe and portray their parent, while parents are able to experience being ‘seen’ by their child. Each child artist chooses an object, which best represents this adult subject, before art directing a creative portrait directly onto their adult’s face! Each artwork is captured by a professional photographer and becomes part of a public exhibition.

I See You Like This is an acclaimed interactive art experience created by Jessica Wilson with designer Matilda Woodroofe to celebrate the fascinating relationship that is at the heart of individual identity – between parent and child. It has toured Australia and Europe amassing a collection of nearly 2000 portraits!

The 45-minute experience begins with questions to the child artist about what kind of person their parent is, they then choose a suitable key object, before art directing a creative portrait directly onto their 'subject's' face. The pair then enter the studio to art direct the photoshoot and SNAP, the unique portrait is ready.
