Part treatise in its adolescence, part foundational slab, part visual lexicon casually unfurled like a roll of film that you just in this exact moment remember is undeveloped and frantically rewind back into the camera. Gaze Palais presents the artist’s theory of The Image woven through arrangements of the image-relics underpinning this scopic palais.
Gaze Palais merges “Displaced Gaze” (a text first published by Ryan Gerald Nelson in 2015) and Nelson’s ongoing project titled Peripheries
(2014–present).
