Two huge glowing eyes emerge out of the night, suspended in space. Silent, mysterious presences, their pupils appear to observe the surroundings, light up with curiosity, and sometimes look away before turning their gaze on the public. These eyes do not merely symbolise vision: they convey meaning, staring at the viewer and encouraging them to question what it means to really "see". Little by little, the relationship is reversed: we came to observe the installation, yet we realise that it is in fact watching us. The surface of the eye is transformed into a luminous landscape, somewhere between organic matter and digital image.
