Eye ideas

At the moment I am working with infrared photography. With this I try to have an observational and perceptive approach.

I'm also reading about scientific imaging and objectivity, since this is connected to the history of infrared.

But I am not sure yet how this will be integrated into my own practice though, because I also see the infrared as a metaphor for the unconscious and as a tool that is able to see-through.

For the Eye project I am considering thermal imaging or night vision I already have a thermal camera and a night vision camera.

Subject wise I will probably collaborate with a friend who is a dancer. She is doing a master's research about how her body movements are related to her memories and how her body is in a way a cage for these memories.

Movement is already an important part in my images (mainly in combination with slow shutter speed) so this could be an interesting collaboration.

My ideas for the Eye project are all connected to my self-directed research:
