Research about Perception

Are we able to see reality as it is? Even if you would be married for 50 years, you would not perceive reality the same way. For me curiosity in how subjective reality is and how people can perceive the same thing, but experience something radically different and how this is processed in our brain is very interesting.

After realising that perception plays an important role in my work, I set out to learn more about the mechanisms of perception. Mainly focussing on perception of our eyes. To research this further I worked together a few days in september with Neuroscientist Floris de Lange who researches visual perception. To learn more about perception as a tool and how it works in our brain. Below is a short documentary I made in september about his work and ideas about Perception.

The most interesting insight was the fact that apparently we don't see with our eyes, but always look at our memory. This is something really interesting to investigate further in cinema.

​Rather than seeking definitive answers, the Dis_embodied Project stages experiential inquiries. Through artistic research-driven experiments, we create spaces where participants confront the instability of embodiment and reconsider the foundations of identity. If believing one does not exist can alter who one is, then the body is not merely a vessel but an active co-creator of selfhood. By investigating the limits and thresholds of embodiment, we aim to expand existing knowledge and invite new forms of dialogue between art, science, and lived experience—before the question of living without a body becomes no longer speculative, but real.
