The Scopes
These scopes reference a fascination with a childhood toy. They contain a lens that fragments the view like a kaleidoscope. Instead of enlarging the scene, it rearranges reality and becomes an ironic twist on the old tourist scope. The viewer is asked to observe carefully and engage in the puzzle of a changing world.
