The Hole

Old bunkers, sewers, secret-hiding holes, and abandoned places seem to exist outside of time. A reality in between. Squeezing deep into endless tunnels feels like an intruder's journey through and across various realities: real, imagined, transmitted by an infinite number of CCTV cameras, replicated on screens. Realities loop along the axes of time and space.
Hundreds of thousands of sensors, cameras, screens, cables, and pipes create an underground, expanding mycelium. Signals rush through channels to reach an unknown point in a self-looping network. What is the object of observation? Is it the observer themselves? Or is it an electrical impulse as a transmitter of information? In the resulting loop, one can get lost, becoming a mushroom, a digitally generated quasi-organic growth growing out of a wall, or the electrical impulse itself. An eye without an eyelid never closes, gazing ceaselessly. The growing organism replicates and multiplies itself.
The intruder presses forward, becoming a Baudrillardian simulacrum trapped in a loop. 
The inspiration for The Hole was Swiss writer Friedrich Dürrenmatt's experimental novel The Assignment, Or, on the Observing of the Observer of the Observers, written in 12 very long sentences. In this quasi-crime story, the author creates characters who observe and track each other: the police, the intelligence service, surveillance cameras, and satellites. A peculiar interplay of concepts ensues: observer and observed.
