White Blind

by Uta Barth, Jan Tumlir (Contributor)

Employing her usual sequential format, Barth here juxtaposes sharply focused images of black branches against an empty sky with ghostly imprints of the same scene rendered on red and white panels.

I once dissected a lamb's eye and became queasy. Here, take a journey behind your own, where all the wires are. Uta Barth does the anatomy and someone named Jan Tumlir, describes the physiology: repetition, afterimage, projection, attention, periphery, memory, distraction, focus..."that is, once we can no longer assume the quirks of our imaging apparatus as given, but now rather variable, it will begin to impinge once more upon us to recall what the world actually looks like." There is a tray full of tools and you have to do this slowly.
