Diptych and symmetry as an invented vision game.

"VASO", 2005.

To recognise themselves in the eyes of their mothers is the

first thing that newborn babies seek. Eyes are the first
diptych, the first symmetric image that we identify as fellow
being. Since the onset, the brain has to learn to reverse
images. Once we have managed to undertake this process in
an automated way, and throughout our lives, whenever we
see something symmetric, what happens is that the brains
reverted image and that captured by the retina are similar.
Do such imperceptible circumstances have anything to do
with whatever it is that links us to these images? It may have
the weird effect of a similar-things-are-not-recognisedbecause-they-are-not-differentiated kind. Or, who knows, this
circumstance may have no meaning at all.
Anyway, in symmetric images from the reality, we find a
resonance, an amplified echo of worlds fractiousness. Our
own symmetry, as it recognises itself in those patterns
merging us with the real, allows us to feel the energy from
the trees shades, the anthropometry of glasses on tables
with chairs, or how at a molecular level, living things and
inert things do not differentiate from one another.
The project Glasses on tables with chairs collects several
series of workshop images prior to the final pieces also
exhibited part of the final photographs are the microscopic
narrative of a house, its time, the incidence of light on it, and
the secret communion of each of the objects it has within.
The video includes part of this index of images, for they are
incorporated to television as the modern complement to the
chair a recurring tandem placing the screens flatness
against the eyeballs curvature. As at times in a houses life,
closer to a liturgical uncertainty where a travelling towards
the dark or zooming towards the emptiness, explain that the
present is there where there is no information (which only
leaves the trace of our concealed existence).
