Emotion
[5-7] "Digitally processed transparent film of six different eyes have been mounted in a window. On the opposite wall are the eyes this time reversed, so to say as a mirror image, and printed on paper.
At the first glance it seems to be simple recordings of various eyes – but at a second somewhat disturbing – they seem to be hiding something remarkable, unnatural, for they are a composite of various superimposed eye photographs. The artist is playing with our sense of perception. The video allows us to easily follow this superimposition but it´s harder with the stills. But this isn´t a game of search, of how many eyes are hidden in one, instead it´s a scrutiny of our own perceptions. The eye acts as an entrance to the world, as a door to thinking and feeling."
