Toshiyuki Kuwabara “Eye”

This event has ended.

Toshiyuki Kuwabara wanted to create a device for viewing the world of the living from the world of the dead. After death, the body decays. The eyeball also rots, and is eventually gone. Knowing that the lens of the eye fulfills a role similar to that of a camera, Kuwabara took the lens from the eyeball of a dead creature and integrated it into his device. This lens of flesh projected images from refracted light. With the passage of time it rotted and ceased to function, and Kuwabara made sequential recordings of its images as it decayed. He decided to share this compilation of images taken with a vanishing corporeal lens with you.
