Abstract

The installation "Invisibility and Civil Desobedience" explores invisibility concept, in reference to the antiocularcentrism philosophical thoght currents. over video proyection, using optical lenses aligned in paraxial. It's a system of optical lenses aligned in paraxial, which practices fisical invisibility on video projections. The work is a symbolic materialization of the effect that can exert the image and its possible invisibility over construction of our imaginaries and over the way of forming experiences and knowledge. A question that has occupied the epistemological concerns about the supremacy of vision on the scientific tradition and methods of access to experiental knowledge. The importance that imply to make invisibility some images, by whatever means, it's that defines our particular way in the pursuit of knowledge, as well as in the political configuration of the society, in the broadest sense of that word.
