What's the focal point of that body in the kaleidoscope?
Sometimes there is just a limb or two evident, a thigh or an arm. One of the most poignant shots is of what appears to be a spinning human ball, formed by a section of a person’s arm, thigh and lower back. This and all of the kaleidoscope visions reveal a multitude of new perspectives and variations on our own hermetically sealed worlds.

This cycle was also inspired by a quote by Heidegger, which could well be [Gábina] Fárová’s motto in general: “What is incalculably far from us in point of distance can be near to us. Short distance is not in itself nearness. Nor is great distance remoteness.” The kaleidoscope images bring or merge bodies together, yet the prisms also distance or separate them.
