The monumentally enlarged pair of eyes of a fruit fly observes the observer looking into a world map of thousands of crystalline light points. Each movement of the visitors awakens the crystals and the contours of the human bodies merge with abstract images from satellite television. The result is a close and distant view, where the insect eye becomes the allegory of a panoptical perception through the lenses of photo, mobile phone and television cameras.
