Do The Two Eyes Have To See The Same Thing?
This video poem is an exercise at stretching the limits sight
as a perceptive faculty employed to capture memory data for our cranial vaults.
Though the two sets of frames, the artist is invoking what he calls THE DUALISM
OF SIGHT – an analogy that draws from the notion of ‘persistence of vision’.
Premised on an inquiry of the possibility for each eye can
be able to perceive its own chosen of ‘field of vision’, the first sequences
are depiction of the same sunset viewed at different times of its occurrence,
while the second merely composes the same sunset to create dually variant
fields of vision.
Attempting to pose on an idea that retinal manipulation is
perhaps possible, where each eye can choose to decipher its own set of data
from a viewed reality, independent of spatio-temporal limitations, as well the
cage of the four side frame, the artists is also questioning the extend of
independence in the act of sight – and perception as a holistic phenomenon.
