NEAR/FAR | Genki Ferguson
An exploration of human vision and the ways in which it can be altered, revealed through the perspectives of jewellers and astronomers.
Synopsis
How do we look? NEAR/FAR is a documentary that investigates the nature of human vision through the perspectives of jewelers and astronomers. What drives the jeweler to look inwards, searching for perfection? What drives the astronomer to look outwards, searching for answers?
Looking through the lens of a telescope and the lens of a jeweler’s loupe, NEAR/FAR is an exploration of human ambition both large and small, and the quest for answers always beyond our reach.
