One image can maybe tell a thousand words, the space between two images can unveil a far more complex story.
Humans are not able to see except by comparison. Our eyes need to vibrate so sly to allow us to sustain vision at all, we see change best. Beauty is often defined by comparison of two or more states.
We see only what we know. Our vision is ballistic, predetermined, driven by intellect. Perception needs to be taught.
We see the world differently than our ancestors. The generations after us will see the world with different eyes.
The diptychs in the catalogue are worlds locked between two images. The images can be seconds apart, yards apart, some are the unification of reality and a distorted reflection of a completely different place or event. The images sometimes seem to be tiny elements of something larger. Together they sometimes express the idea that unites them, or they tell the story that is between them.
One of the roses below seems to be the original painting, the second one seems to be a good copy of the fist one. We pay more attention to both because of their so s differences. Both are the memory of the idea of a rose, a representation. We see them, understand them as two roses, but they are one and the same idea of a rose thought twice. Reunited at last.
