04. People who related with voyeurism


Jacques Lacan (13 APR 1901 – 9 SEP 1981)
French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist 

According to his theory, the relationship of the subject with the desire to look and awareness that one can be viewed. The gaze can be motivated by the subject's desire to control the object it sees, and an object that can likewise capture and hold the subject's eye.



Alfred Hitchcock (13 AUG 1899 – 29 APR 1980)
English film director and producer 

He said. I’ll bet you that nine out of ten people, if they see a woman across the courtyard undressing for bed, or even a man puttering around in his room, will stay and look; no one turns away and says, ‘It’s none of my business.’ They could pull down the blinds, but they never do; they stand there and look. 
Alfred Hitchcock quoted in Truffaut, Hitchcock: The Definitive Study of Alfred Hitchcock, p. 216
