Blinded by the Known is the third part of a trilogy where I explore how the human mind creates psychological projections and fabricates a dream-like inner reality.

​

In the first part (Short Stories of the Transparent Mind), I explored the dimensionless aspect of our consciousness, where I investergated how human experience is made up of illusory assumptions. In the second part (Whispering Void), I investigated our tendency to over-identify with these mental constructions.

In this last part, Blinded by the Known, I have explored the underlying subjective mental filter that we constantly act from.

In this new photographic artworks, I have aimed to make this transparent layer of interpretation and positioning visible, and point out how it permeates every part of the human experience.

​

In this series of photographs I have experimented with a new three-dimensional technique I have developed, so some work are made as photographic three-dimensional holograms.

In other of the photographic artworks, I have allowed the hypnotizing illusion to slowly dismantle, as we peels of the different layers of subjectivity. Here I have used stencils to spray-paint objects onto the photographs. These photographs create a paradox between a depicted reality and a constructed scenery, experienced simultaneously. The spray-painted objects in a real photo landscape create an oscillation between a documented situation and a subjective fabricated narrative.

​

These artworks gradually establish a new perspective, where the mind no longer can believe its own thought constructions nor its visual interpretations or imprints. And when we discern the faculty of believing appearances, it becomes possible to transcend the subjective filters altogether. We can then, on a deeper level, appreciate these artworks’ ability to reveal reality beyond the perception of the dualistic mind.

 

The art exhibition includes photography, electromagnetic floating sculptures, paintings and photographic three-dimensional holograms.
