湯尼·奧斯勒從1995年開始發展對於眼睛主題的探索和創作;這件巨型裝置作品《暗黑》(Obscura),探究觀者的位置與觀看時下流行文化潮流間景象的關係,而這也是奧斯勒作品中一項持續進行的計劃。
The "Obscura" is the manifestation of an ongoing project in Oursler's oeuvre. He began his exploration of eyes in 1995, addressing the position of the viewer in relation to the spectacle of current pop-cultural viewing trends, and has continued to rework and expand upon the themes and technologies presented in this series ever since.
