"We infuse the world we encounter with meaning, with social and symbolic significance based on the value we place upon representations we share.
This, perhaps, is the irony of our conceptualizations: We make and share images so that we may know the world. But what exactly is the nature of our image representations?
Spurred on by private upheavals to reappraise the connections we have to images and memory, american master photographer Ken SCHLES takes you with ‘Oculus’ on a personal philosophic journey that points beyond the shadow-play of images.
It is a meditation on the nature of perception and existence in the grey light of this world." (publisher's note, © Aurora Borealis, 2011)
