Under the Threshold of Sight
— 2025 —
Under the Threshold of Sight is a photographic inquiry into the mechanisms of seeing.
By juxtaposing infrared and visible light imagery, the project examines how we look, what we fail to see, and whether what is overlooked can still be real.
Infrared images capture wavelengths beyond human perception—traces of heat, plant response, atmospheric presence.These are not meant to reveal nature, but to question the assumption that visibility equals truth.
This is not an aesthetic supplement to nature, nor a romantic consumption of it, but a visual and material exploration of invisibility and ecological presence.
Through a hybrid process—infrared digital capture, digital negatives enlarged in the darkroom, transparent overlays, and a thermochromic ink cover—the book embeds perceptual instability into its very structure.The rupture of perception does not occur only within the image, but across material, sequencing, and the act of viewing itself.
This book is not designed to be quickly read or fully grasped.It asks for slowness, for attention, for a continual disorientation that returns the viewer to a different kind of seeing— one that resists mastery, and invites a recalibration of the senses.
