HYPNAGOGIA
About the search for a paradoxical intermediate space and the potential of a person to look from two points of view at the same time.
A tetrahedral object. Each face is a door, through the cracks around which light penetrates. The doors cannot be opened, but one can peep into the space behind them through a stereoscope in a given sequence. According to Walter Benjamin, the camera captures reality in a way that the human eye is not capable of seeing, thus capturing the unconscious. A series of stereo photographs immerses the viewer in a paradoxical intermediate space. The 3D effect increases the effect of presence. At the last stage, the denouement occurs. Vision literally produces a non-digital morphing of two portraits of different people, resulting in a portrait of someone else.
When a person looks at an object, each eye creates a two-dimensional image from its own angle. The brain forms a third, three-dimensional image from them. This effect is called binocular (stereoscopic) vision. Thanks to the synthesis of two angles, a person sees an object in a way that each eye alone is unable to convey.
I use this quality of vision in search of a paradoxical intermediate space between two phenomena that may be unrelated or even have opposite natures.
Is it possible to be in a dream and in reality at the same time? Is it possible to combine magic and science? Is it possible to find the infinite in the finite? If we admit the truth of two different points of view, is it possible to catch something previously unmanifested in the nature of objects and phenomena?
*Hypnagogia is an intermediate state between reality and sleep. It is characterized by conscious perception of images from the unconscious. In this state, auditory, visual, tactile and logical hallucinations are possible, as well as sleep paralysis.
