Do I see the other
or do I project?
EXPOSE is situated within the field of critical reflection on the gaze, responsibility, and the non-neutrality of perception.
The sign of EXPOSE
is an eye.
Not to observe the other.
To remind the one who looks
that the gaze is not innocent.
Every gaze contains a choice:
to recognise
or to project.
The colours are not ornament.
They remain separate.
They do not seek harmony,
because pain does not blend
and light does not impose itself.
Every light waits
to be seen
without being used.
If one day they recognised each other,
white would be born
as a consequence,
not as an objective.
But EXPOSE
does not begin from unity.
It begins
from the point where it is lacking.
It begins
from the shadow.
There where the gaze
can still decide
whether to open
or to overlay.
The sign does not explain itself.
It is assumed.
It is not a symbol to display.
It is a threshold to cross.
When it appears,
something has been suspended:
the certainty of having already understood.
It asks nothing.
It promises nothing.
It remains.
