If an eye’s demand to see a particular entity persists after that demand has either been denied or fulfilled, it generates a surplus and falls into a void. When this state of falling is not counteracted by the inherent will within every being to emerge from that void, the individual suspends himself and transforms into a Stalker.
Within this suspended state, the triangle of need, desire, and demand is reconstituted, and the Stalker becomes the “vampire of someone else’s life.” As the Stalker’s demand intensifies, the act itself begins to shape and redefine the character of the place in which the demand occurs. When the pursued turns to look at the Stalker and begins to follow it, the act opens the door to an ambiguous reality in which Looking remains incomplete and Seeing inevitably produces a parasite. Within this parasitic condition, the Stalker and the pursued gradually merge, their boundaries dissolving until they form a new field of being together.
While Eye for an Eye (Stalker) points to this newly formed reality—where shifting, near-imperceptibility, and the transformation of meaninglessness into a new form of meaning unfold along the axis of Eye, Looking, and Seeing—it invites the audience into the magic and seduction of this surreal universe through a gesture that already feels strangely familiar.
Enjoy your insatiable stalking.
