GLASSIGHTS is the end result of the interest and the re-consideration of the physical implications inherited by the window-glassights from where the subject can only see the world from a position within the world -seeing the world from this perspective requires recognition that, in seeing, the subject is simultaneously constituted as an object which is available to be seen.

Different degrees of circulation and mobility are not only usually offered to the inhabitants and citizens of the complex and heterogeneous reality of the city as the factual, physical possibility to establish the only free space available, but are also closely connected to the experience of very different and personal views, re-interpretations for circulating obstructed concepts. 		This project implies a re-interpretation of the perceiving the city via different possibilities of the very act of seeing.The interest resides firmly focused on the transient lines, the fluxes, of the inner dynamics erupting from an almost invisible clash between interior needs and the city’s ponderous influences. The process goes on internalising suggestions and hints arriving from the contextual situation.

The selected works are highly personal and peculiar in their visual economy, are more re-appropriations than mere actual representations about the condition of the contemporary metropolis’ insider’s life. The works function rather well on the premise of a "distant sight", the idea of a remote view or to quote Hans Blumenberg "a distant observer".
