Nguyen Wahed is pleased to present Eyes Half Open, a presentation of experiential viewing media as sculptural installations by Goki Muramoto, marking the artist's first solo exhibition in the United States. The title "Eyes Half Open" references physiological postures of contemplation found universally in depictions of insight as well as spiritual experiences like prayer or meditation, in which one's vision is subdued in order to better observe their inner reality, but with equal awareness of the external world. Here, half-open eyes facilitate a state of intentional suspension between self and other through sight, in which what is mentally far away becomes retrievable. Bringing together three original viewing instruments invented by the artist—Imagraph, a projector for closed eyes; Lived Montage, glasses that cinematically share vision among participants; and Training Wheels, lenses formed from written instructions and polished brass rings—the exhibition stages a choreography of sensory mediation and visual disorientation.
