Abstract
Spilled Land River-Eye is a poetic stream of consciousness and thoughts that outline an art installation project I was working on during my Master’s studies (2022-2024).
What is poetic thinking? What is a poetic perception? How can art, particularly visual art, take an approach that affords us the agency to express what I/we are; what I/we could have been; what have I/we become so far; and what awaits me/us behind the curve?
Poetics has a realm where it compiles the events of the contemporary moment as a subject, on one hand, and, on the other hand, attempts to project the events as an enduring encounter. Through mechanisms of seeing, resolutions of perception, accumulation, and reconstruction of language and belief, I created a site that is placed in between two possible realms.
