6-Solid transparency and seeing through

I explored the idea of seeing through as the transparency of the solid in air, the idea of spaces between occupied and unoccupied, the clearness of seeing and understanding, the ability of imagination of filling the gaps between them.

The model of telescope/pocket watch derived form the transformed column head. The lenses are made of letters and holes and the spatial gaps. The idea is that with this lens, you look through the surface of the site and the lens is a connector between language and the space, within the idea how writers composes with letters, words and means, ideas which are imaginary.

The letter lenses can be rotated to form different combination of reading space and through the magnifying glass, space formed by two letter lenses is stretching and distorted, reconstructing the solid surface of what you see through. Thus it is a timing machine that you can see directly the changing of light and surface over time. (fig. last drawing)

The transparency of solid surface can also be seen as the shifting topography over time. Based on Vasseleu’s idea of light as perception to experience thing, this drawing (fig. first to third drawings) tends to discuss the changing topography of text stretching and moving on the floor casting through light.
