Adie Syndrome 2013

Adie Syndrome functions both as an objective document and a subjective portrait. A neurological disorder characterized by a tonicaly dilated pupil, Adie Syndrome is a disorder that I acquired at a young age. Although it is not life threatening or disabling I seek to understand how this malfunction manifests itself, particularly given its place in an organ that is so highly valued. Beyond vision, eyes also function as a symbol for many spiritual concepts. The lens of the camera forms a mechanical polarity with the organic motion of the eyes the two channels of video reference other binaries throughout the video such as circle vs. square, function vs. malfunction, and objective vs. subjective. The video functions as a moving selfportrait, but has a structure that allows the viewer to experience the piece from beginning to end. I want the viewer to have a vision into my own perception while my eyes gaze back at the audience.
