INFINITE UNBLINKING
"Too many eyes. None of them close."
INFINITE UNBLINKING functions as a circular organ of perception — a body without orientation.
At its center sits a large eye, almost playful, almost kawaii. Yet a closer look reveals a spiral structure of hundreds of micro-eyes circling inward and outward simultaneously. Perception is not depicted — it is multiplied.
When gently touched, the work responds. The plastic eyes tremble and rustle. The surface becomes animate. It listens. It reacts. Humor turns into unease.
The support is porous polystyrene — fragile, lightweight, vulnerable. It changes form and dimension over time. The eyes are attached, not embedded. They remain movable. They may age, fall down, disappear. The work accepts mortality.
Formally it echoes WE ARE DOTS, yet here the dots become orbit. Not measurement, but rotation. Not structure, but overload.
INFINITE UNBLINKING is a self-portrait without a face:
a consciousness that sees too much —
and never blinks.
INFINITE UNBLINKING is part of the upcoming exhibition BETROGENER TRAUM and belongs to AREA 04 — Chaos.
