Description:
Dichotomy consists of single and duplicated pictures which can be interpreted both individually and as a series. The artist's wish was to create a web of images with the purpose of facilitating the emergence of a kind of hidden "super information", or at least the realisation of the existence of this information. The desired effect is that of a stereo-picture which does not so much employ the organ of vision, the eyes, but rather originates in the brain as an inner image by an assumed thinking process, and thus refers to the primarily intuitive character of thinking, as well as of perception, which seems to precede it. (...) Can the constriction of the mind into constant and involuntary concentration obstruct the perception of this unknown image assembled of details? And finally: can the image thus discovered create - similarly to the images hidden in stereograms - the feeling of a new, unknown dimension? (A.Sz.)
