Drawing on fieldwork and filmmaking with young Muslim women in Copenhagen, in the neighborhood of Nørrebro, I describe intimate scenes I was allowed to film. The concealment enacted as the women move from private to public space is discussed here, and I conceptualize the zooming-in on these micro-moments that the video camera afforded as unconscious optics. I argue that this filmmaking with young Muslim women enabled embodied, sense-filled encounters and provided audiovisual notes to revisit, helping me draw nearer to gendered enactments of revealing and concealment across online and offline realms: the video camera and video-enabled smartphones affording an infrastructure of unconscious optics.
