He said, “Go and tell this people: “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
Isaiah 6:9
I have seen one image lately. On the edge of the sea horizon, at the point where eternity is anticipated, rises a fine line of a mountain gorge. Photographer describes: “Once in the morning, in the state of absolute visibility, I saw the mountains in the middle of the sea. It might be Abkhazia I thought. I imagine, when I was a child, I was observing Adjara, from exactly those mountains.”
Amazed with this emulated description, I went back to the image, suddenly grasping its significance. The photo displays powerful desire of impossibility, wish to see unseen is so strong, that instead of a foreseen endlessness of the horizon, it forms the physical body of the mountain.
To recreate impossibility, we have constructed the artificial fence. Through tiny chinks on the surface, you will see some details of the images. These tiny fragments will stir your senses and encourage you through dismantling the wall create wholeness of the vision.
