Though made with human hand Eye of Light never has the precision and efficiency of an automaton. The economy of this machine is quite peculiar. It is a "situation object". A visible form that captures a moment and gives a new impetus to the imperceptible interrelations of subjects: meeting surfaces, places of exchange where the refusals, the looks, the consents, the evasions cross one another. The light relays material density decreases in proportion to the complexity of the meaning they convey. Their value is that of the combination of relations they establish, which are established through them. Their fragile and transparent pattern is only the nervure of situations. The Eye of Light is a knot. This is the Ariadne aspect of the Eye. The thread held at its, in this case, hundred ends by consciousnesses that look for each other, escape each other, capture each other, and rescue each other, and now they are again separated from each other by that thread which, indissociably, links them together. All these Ariadne objects play with the stratagems of truth at the threshold of light and illusion.
In the end escape is inconceivable; the only way out is in the direction of that dark point which indicates the centre, the infernal fire, the law of the figure. No longer threads that one ties and unties but corridors in which one is swallowed up.
