Still from eye feels, two-channel HD video with sound, 1 minute (looped), 2017
eye feels is the opening scene of a longer animation that was never
fully realised. These animated
eyeballs are drawn from Sally Miller Gearhart’s unpublished short story “Hello, Body” (1993). Here, floating sensuously in an infinite pool of metallic fluid, they appear evocative yet
strangely without context.
The fragmentary nature of eye feels is perhaps what has inspired the many adaptations and re-mixes that it has since undergone.
