“Gaze” (2009)<br />

video, 6’58’’<br />

courtesy of the artist<br />

Supraveghere cosmică. Poliţie interstelară. Lună plină şi haită de<br />

vârcolaci. Noaptea ca topos al privirii alterate şi al pândei. Atitudinea<br />

critică subtilă în care puterea metaforei este mult mai<br />

radicală decât declaraţia politică afişată. Poetul care este mult<br />

mai marginal decât activistul. Stranietatea care vine din faptul<br />

că îţi dai seama că oricât ai observa, tot îţi scapă nişte zone neguroase<br />

şi impalpabile. Sau, mai bine, Niklas Luhmann, Ich sehe<br />

was, was Du nicht siehst.<br />

Mica Gherghescu<br />

Cosmic surveillance. Intergalactic police. Full moon and<br />

werewolf pack. Night as topos for altered gaze and watch.<br />

Subtle critical attitude where the power of the metaphor is<br />

much more radical than the exhibited political declaration. The<br />

poet is much more marginal than the activist. The uncanny,<br />

because no matter how much you observe, you’ll always miss<br />

some black, untouchable zones. Or better yet, Niklas Luhmann,<br />

Ich sehe was, was Du nicht siehst.<br />
