Glass Eyes examines the dialectical opposition between artistic translation and transcription in photography. This means questioning the photographic apparatus as a tautological tool and arguing for photography as an art which concentrates on the experience of the image. A translative photography locates all images in the appearing world and analyses not the ‘reality’ of the referent but the direct experience of certain poignant details. It reunites photography with the desire to manipulate the human eye to more strongly perceive certain things. After all, sometimes an imaginary sign is stronger than a real one. The photographs themselves explore intimacy, alterity, and ephemerality.
