SEARCH

Space telescope

A telescope functions as the link to the work. What is sought is an ecumenical artistic “fact,” containing within itself all objects, all experiences, all possibilities.

“The unreality of the gaze gives reality to what is seen.”– Jorge Eduardo Alcalá

“He who seeks, finds,” says an old proverb. Since the dawn of time, humans have searched: for a tool, a fertile land, a refuge, a body, a meaning. Searching has always been both beginning and end, engine of conflict and of progress.

A question opens the path toward an answer; the answer opens the search for new information.

Today, we type a word and press search : torrents of data flood our retinas, trained in the art of scrutiny.

Search begets information, information becomes knowledge, knowledge becomes power. And what power produces may well be infinite.

The inquiry into the Self is as ancient as thought itself. Freud fragmented it into Id, Ego, and Superego; religions sought their god; science multiplies laboratories in pursuit of antidotes and certainties. All respond to the same impulse: to keep asking.

To conceive of a work whose goal is “to search” is to acknowledge the impossibility of encompassing everything.

Search does not attempt to provide answers, but to open a threshold: a space where questions unfold and each individual finds what they seek.

A telescope points fixedly at a single spot.

For what? What do you see, what do we see, what will they see?The sky. The sky! The sky?
