The eye is a powerful organ. It helps us distinguish the real from the unreal. It feeds into the brain, letting it interpret the signals. Is this reality? What makes it real? Seeing it? Touching it? Recognising it? What are the factors that help us separate the authentic from the fakeries? Certainly many other factors such as dimension, perspective, colouration and light all play a part? I have no answer, but seeing Marc Baruth’s work has certain triggered this fascination.




Our optical facility and mental capacity to process images that blur the line between reality and fantasy is astounding no?
