In the Blink of an Eye Silk thread, painted board, LED lights, regulating transformer,eletric wires,video projection 1700 × 220 × 300 cm 2022 French philosopher Gaston Bachelard once called the imagined geographical space “poetic space,” for he thinks its imagination of it is more important than its objective existence. Such a fictional body of space might be conceived as a timeless space with a self-sufficient confined system, just like a “transparent stone”—a model detached from the concept of time. Enabling the sense of vision wandering in a space without a perception point, this kind of space may gift us the possibility of breaking loose from the limitation of reality, space, and time. In this sense, our minds can extend infinitely “in the blink of an eye”. Our visual perception could be reconstructed by detaching from the usual perception points in reality.
