Shot on location at Versailles and in Paris, Dans la vision peripherique du temoin unfolds as a provocative inquiry into the psychological and cultural apparatus of vision — seeing and being seen, voyeurism and narcissism, the gaze and the self. The screen is divided into three vertical panels, creating a formal composition of simultaneous imagery. Collapsing public and private vision, Odenbach presents a costume drama in the palace at Versailles, views of everyday Parisian life, a philosophical dialogue between a young and an old man, urban architecture, Hollywood film scenes. Within the triptych, the artist himself is seen running through lanes of traffic. This work was originally produced as a three-channel, multi-media installation for the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
