The Eye Which We Do Not Have
Inspired by the thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock and the critical discussion of cinema by GIlles Deleuze, The Eye Which We Do Not Have uses a set of 6 frames and 4 screens with a pulley system to create a transforming stagespace that transitions from small to large, vertical to horizontal, and static to mobile. The formal experience of a transforming stage suggests a transforming viewpoint like that of a camera in motion. Incorporating close-ups, long shots, pan and zoom, The Eye Which We Do Not Have uses a cinematic visual language to deterritorialize its imagery, creating affect, mood, and suspense with live puppetry.

The Eye Which We Do Not Have is currently in development. Its first incarnation was presented at Dixon Place's 'Puppet Blok' September 2009. Its second work in progress performance was also at Dixon Place in February 2011
