Dazzle2017

The verb dazzle literally means "to bright". Dazzle derives from the American expression razzle-dazzle which expresses an attempt to confuse ideas and during the First World War became the name of a camouflage technique. The Dazzle project questions invisibility, the becoming invisible as an action and performative strategy through the plastic axis - camouflage; the perceptual axis - deflecting the senses; and the spiritual-textual axis - transmitting the invisible.
