The Collector departs from the split image of a man’s head, activated by the movement between left and right side. The baldhead of this man discloses the effects of time lapsing, physically inscribing on his skin the aging traces. His white hair frames the edge of the clear skin. The “absent” hair discloses the skin that protects the “abundant” accumulating layers of experience and knowledge stored inside that organic encasement.

The brain is assumed here as a locus of knowledge, as container of ideas, image collector, emotions archive and memory repository. Brain matter aggregates the scattered, the constant construction and mutation, the weaving of the memory puzzle.

Recorded with two cameras, the video starts with the clear image of a famous book collector’s head, in order to create an abstract image of the culmination of the accumulation of human knowledge, in permanent agitation. By shuffling meanings, knowledge repeals the static state in an effort to permanently activate itself.

Vibrating of activity, the brain opens up visually in two communicating hemispheres.
