Vanishing point

The vanishing point is not only the point where parallel lines converge, but also the boundary where the visible fades, where everything dissolves and movement ceases. It is the point where everything that was once visible recedes into the invisible.

In this image, however, no line seems to submit to a direction. Even the shuttle, on its way to the moon, deviates from its course. It was not designed for such a journey.

The vanishing point is not only the point where parallel lines converge, but also the boundary where the visible fades, where everything dissolves and movement ceases. It is the point where everything that was once visible recedes into the invisible.

At a point, the shuttle disappears from the screen. Just like technology, no matter how revolutionary it was. Everything is fleeting. What once seemed vibrant and tangible slowly fades and disappears from sight, much like the contents of ageing videotapes that eventually become unreadable.

These symbols remind us of a bygone era. They represent the collective memories of technologies that are now often forgotten, of a world we no longer know. What once held cultural significance is now interwoven with nostalgia and ideas of progress that have shaped our identity.

It is a reminder of humanity’s endless desire to reach for the unknown, even as our achievements fade and the traces we leave behind disintegrate.

The vanishing point is always beyond our reach. It constantly lies just outside the limits of our understanding. It is a journey that will never be fully completed.

Thus, the vanishing point is never an endpoint but a continual reminder of transience and everything we try to hold onto, while also being a striving for a course-defining dot on the horizon.
