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.
