Where colours tighten and gravity loosens — Sichtweite begins: navigating through stardust and static, a figure struggles as sensory deprivation deepens. Fragile and adrift, signals stutter as the visitor tries to recalibrate. Sichtweite [German for visibility] is the result of Arcin Sagdic’s sustained experimentation with chemically manipulated film — a process guided by time, reaction, and the slowing transformation of matter.

Sichtweite is sequenced in a series of binary transmissions: full-bleed images act as ones, blank pages as zeroes — an unfolding code that spells out the publication’s title. A second sequence moves through the book, tracing the scale and distance of the solar system. While a poem by Flora Yin-Wong runs along the outer edges of each print sheet, framing the ongoing question: how might we picture a universe outside of our own?
