1) ME, MYSELF AND I, video stills. Sigmund Freud (1923) saw the psyche structured into three parts (i.e., tripartite), the id, ego and superego, all developing at different stages in our lives. These are systems, not parts of the brain, or in any way physical.
2) ME, MYSELF AND I, video stills. According to Freud‘s model of the
psyche, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the mind that
contains sexual and aggressive drives and hidden memories.
3) ME, MYSELF AND I, video stills. The super-ego operates as a moral conscience, and the ego is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.

Synopsis. Surrounded by fairy lights and plastic flowers three male figures meet at an old Berlin pub. Despite their identical appearance they distinguish by personality and clothing. There is a strained relationship between them. Mutely the men communicate with minimal gestures as they seem confused between desire and fear. Camouflage-like their outfits vanish in the
lavishly decorated ambience. A strange meeting, an interaction between alive and dead things in a surreal space.
The experimental short film Me, Myself And I directed by Elisa Gómez Alvarez (script and realisation) and Nicolas Stephan Fischer (fashion collection F65.0) is about a metro-sexual matrix at the old Berlin corner pub „Soldiner Eck“. With stylistic devices of Western, Science-Fiction and the CAMP-movement the film questions society-forced role models and male stereotypes. Based on a shared research the fashion-collection and the short film were simultaneously realised in a synergetic project at University of Arts Berlin 2015.
The short film was officially selected and honoured to be released first at the renowned art film festival „Les Rencontres Internationales de Paris“ and „Les Rencontres Internationales Berlin“ in spring 2016.
