chronicles of sight, his series explores the human gaze as movement, as trace, and as an autonomous visual entity. Through eye-tracking technologies I generated both still and moving images derived from mappings of ocular motion that were subsequently processed, compressed, or transformed. In this work the gaze is examined not as a faithful record of what is seen, but as an active force as a choreography of consciousness, body, and memory. What may seem at first like simple images become charged with density, traces of vision compressed in time. These are not representations of an external world, but images generated from vision itself.

As Gilles Deleuze wrote of the time-image, this is a moment in which time is not only measured but acquires sensory form. The gaze undergoes a transformation of becoming, it ceases to function merely as an instrument of the body and emerges as a body in its own right a human digital entity. At the same time, the work resonates with Jacques Derrida’s notion of the “trace”, each image is the memory of a movement, of a presence that has already vanished, of an attempt to hold on to what has disappeared. Vision, like memory, is always fragile born at the very threshold of its disappearance.
