Instead of a familiar iris, it presents scattered cloud. Where we might expect to see perception, we find reflection; where we expect clarity, we find ambiguity. The image, at once surreal and eerily intimate, reframes the eye as both witness and screen. Nearly a century later, that vision is echoed perhaps unintentionally in our devices: the iPhone, and more specifically, the photographic archive it constantly builds. The glass rectangle we carry is our all seeing eye, our mirror, our record-keeper. It sees, it searches and it saves. The third release in the Décalcomanies series explores the author’s images as transferrable media on a journey from spontaneous snapshot camera roll fodder, social media posts to the printed publication of these materials in their final setting.
