Description:
The theme of this work is “(visual) adjustment” and “hole.” The threshold or limit of the camera as an optical apparatus appears as “blown-out highlights" or "blocked-up shadows” in a given image. Usually, the act of adjustment consists in taking a limit value as a premise and attempting to fit things within that boundary. In other words, a blocked-up shadow is a “hole” that needs to be erased in the process of adjustment. Therefore, the same process ends by turning that hole into something that is not. However, what would be something that remains a hole no matter how much adjustment is made? Is there a hole that remains as the dead zone for adjustment? If there is, the process of adjustment would never end, and the criteria for adjustment would be lost. For instance, we could imagine an image shown by a camera whose measuring gauge is broken, but the act of adjustment still remains. Is the image composed then, a “hole” or not? It is a case where the very distinction between “being a hole/not being a whole” does not hold anymore. It is something puzzling like an eyeball of the dead which continues to move after death and displays something. Various apparatuses like the camera are endowed with a reality of the adjustment itself that cannot be reduced to the visual imagery filmed.
