Unintentional Forms I

gelatin silver prints and negatives, 1999

Unintentional Forms (Mimoformy) realize an utopian possibilities of two-eyes vision. The experience of space through the common field of vision and through building of two similar objects (images) results in appearance, somehow by the way, of the new object. In the construction of the rules of our own space we may touch the limits of rationality.
