Our eyes - insightful and attentive - are everywhere. They carefully migrate through the maps of everyday life. They explore piercing valleys, going carefully deeper and deeper, to the very essence. They analyse the silence of everyday lowlands to extract from them the element of pure knowledge. They climb higher and higher, one foot at a time, to the very sharp peak from which they can see everything and nothing.

Each of us has one eye. It is round, slightly convex, and glass.

We - charmingly naive cyclops looking for answers where only more questions arise from the moist soil. Still, we will do everything to get to know them.

We explore places touched by divine power, and follow the stigmatics and prophets, listening to their soundless laments.

We dream a dream about the impossible and the dangerous, blurring the luminous glow of unexperienced experiences.

We immerse ourselves in the sticky afterimages of painterly forms on the canvases of film.

We merge our gaze and that of those from whom we were created into a hypnotic unity, looking for points of contact on the retina of cognition.

We look deep inside ourselves, taking apart our heads, hearts and bodies.

We are looking for what was nearby recently and now persistently screams with its absence.

We analyse the paths travelled by our ancestors, swirling high above the misty hills as the mountain breeze mixes the past and the present in our heads.

We follow the child's carefree laughter, soaking our worn-out feet on the carpet of morning dew, and at the end of the journey, we rest our foreheads on the steaming back of a panting horse.

We observe sweaty bodies pulsating with primal power, which - blow by blow - fight for the attention of our monochromatic glances.

The portals of our tense eyelids never close.

We are vigilant. We are ready to save forever the fleeting image of what entered the spotlight of our perception, what we saw in the window of a roaring train, on a path to nowhere trodden by a million feet, and above all... inside ourselves.
