This projects dwells in the aesthetics of the imperfect reconstruction, as seen in Gallant Lab’s reconstruction videos. They are marked by an aesthetics of incompleteness, ambiguity, a sense of pathos. Suffering from the lack of adequate information. This project stages the reconstruction of imagery as an aspirational, desirous event. Enacting the desire to want to peer inside the other’s head. The impossibility of truly seeing through other’s eyes. The unbridgeable gulf between self/other, internal/external world.
