OKULAR, premiered in South Korea in 2021, is an extension of RETINA. Initially designed to be projected in the enclosure of a swimming pool, Okular, located at the aquatic boundaries of the eye, no longer proposes to explore the interior and exterior fields of our visual storage, but what remains of our corneal imprints, our crystalline traces and our tissue phantoms inscribed on our membrane. Using microscopic explorations, Okular dives into the very heart of this living barrier where matter comes to light; where solid and liquid textures pass through the transparency prism.
Like a micro film, Okular reveals the indelible distortions of optics that extrapolated reality sends back to us.
