When the gaze turns inward, who is watching whom?

In this project, we explored the multifaceted implications of the gaze, the ethics of looking and the limits of visual understanding. Inspired by Johannes Binotto’s capricorn sunset [a constellation], we mirrored its structural play of scale and micro-macro relationship, in order to question the nature of visual control and the boundaries between seeing and being seen. While Binotto’s video moves outward – from the cosmos to the printed page of a book – we reversed this journey, zooming into the eye until abstraction. This shift drew attention to the eye itself: a site of perception, vulnerability, and disfiguration.

And here is Johannes Binotto’s video response to: Field of Vision [a disfiguration]
