STREAM is a photographic work split into two halves. On the right, an open eye appears without a pupil, emptied of its usual function of perception. On the left, a flat expanse of chroma-key green suggests an image not yet realized, a surface of pure potential. The juxtaposition stages a tension between seeing and projecting, between vision and mediation. At the same time, the work alludes to a stream of consciousness—an unfolding flow of impressions and associations where perception, absence, and imagination intermingle.

STREAM was originally produced for Kunstwerke Institute for Contemporary Art´s edition series.
