A space exploded, exploited, to wear the robes of a different fiction; the project permits its own reoccupation by new fictions. The idea of inhabiting the project in a conventional sense is abandoned in favour of the suggestion of spaces, places, beings beyond the scope of the camera. Gravity and enclosure lose their relevance in such a place; the possibility to shift between fictions is prioritised.

How can a construction, held at a specific angle, lit by a refined light, radiate a kind of energy and power its own image?

How do we extract the valence of a piece of architecture and distill it for consumption?

What excesses does the image provide? Can it power its own image? Can it be a physical manifestation of a mythical Narcissus?

The 'Perpetual Looking Machine' is an attempt at understanding how a fiction can proliferate other fictions and genres proliferate other genres. This project draws a kind of energy to power itself. It extracts this energy from the site, and begets new fictions which have their place in the so-called 'real world'. This extracted something begets its own means of transmission and consumption, and inhabits a place between reality and fiction.
