Abstract
Inspired by Kafka’s Die Verwandlung, I allow the character in this photo sequence to observe his life in an objective perspective by giving away his eye to an unknown artificial force. However the story can go either way from beginning to end, or from end to beginning. There are two relatively independent parts in this work — the establishment-final resolution sequence and the confrontation sequence, and both are reversible. I started with creating the confrontation sequence first, the mood from joyful to frightening, natural to artificial.
