The cavemen's headlamps here become the light of discovery and knowledge, although even there, in the dark depths outside of time, they are accompanied by a trace of what is happening on the surface.

Since their inception, new media, photography and film, have awakened not only fascination with capturing the world, enthusiasm for the beauty of images, but also concerns about their proliferation and overwhelming our perception. The gradually cultivated, now pathological self-absorption of man is currently revealed by an infinite number of recording devices, while the civilization of the image is no longer in the hands of his intelligence alone.
