Tunnel Vision


Tunnel vision is the loss of peripheral vision with retention of central vision, resulting in a constricted circular tunnel-like field of vision.

Eyeglass users experience tunnel vision to varying degrees due to the corrective lensonly providing a small area of proper focus, with the rest of the field of view beyond the lenses being unfocused and blurry.


Tunnel vision got me thinking on how our typical mundane surroundings seem to merge into one solid black colour as a result of its familiarity all the colours of our scenery all roll into on producing a black tunnel to which we see nothing except for what stands out from the everyday to which we focuses our attention with an investigative eye. I guess this idea deals with the perspective eye which encompasses the visible world.

- One eye can in this day and age can be in more than one place at one time.

- This is due to photography and reproductions of images in general such as statues, projection work ect.

- The eye as a machine

- Free from boundaries of time and space.


What imagery to have at the end of the tunnel?

maybe a colour wheel at the end of the tunnel?
