The Eye [A.L.I.C.E. | A Large Ion Collider Experiment | V1]

Mariele Neudecker
2021

Mariele Neudecker’s The Eye: A.L.I.C.E  immerses the viewer in the underground world of the ALICE experiment. The film provides a lens into the physicists’ endeavour to study the essential constituents of matter, mirrored by a scientist’s narration revealing the unique mechanism of vision. As a Guest Artist in 2019, Neudecker captured the beauty of this experiment's scale, extremes, and complexity. This work premiered in the Victoria & Albert museum's exhibition Alice: Curioser and Curioser.
