Everywhere I Am Not Total Darkness Reigns

A tourist telescope erected in isolation on the beach stirs our curiosity, because it can open up our eyes to what lies beyond our field of vision. Erica Lai is interested in discovering the historical and territorial relevance of an individual, and explores her fascinations through the universal visual experience of landscape. The tourist telescope Lai installed on Dadaepo Beach offers an experience of a new temporal and spatial frame that deviates from everyday occurrences, while stimulating a different sense by visually bringing close a distant and prohibited area within a space considered safe. The phrase ¡°Everywhere I Am Not Total Darkness Reigns¡± by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze is inscribed in the telescope, hinting at the idea of the visual connection and physical disconnection of space as an analogy to the repetition of the opening and closing of space between the ocean and land due to the rise and fall of the tide.
