Merzmensch – Diffused—Spectacles-of-Time

What happens when memories become landscape?

In Diffused—Spectacles-of-Time, Merzmensch invites us to view time not as a line, but as a murky terrain. A solitary figure stands at the edge of a flooded plain, gazing at a fog-shrouded horizon. Giant glasses hover above the scene—surreal, floating, melting. Through their lenses, the world appears distorted, blurred, as if vision itself were beginning to dissolve.

This image from the MERZmory series is a haunting meditation on perception, nostalgia, and the unreliability of what we think we see. Are these glasses a gateway to the past—or a barrier to clarity? The answer, as always with Merzmensch, remains suspended between dream and doubt.
