The Copernican Turn (Circle circle circle)
Jens Van Heijningen
Is this the centre?
Copernicus changed the way we perceive the Earth: not as a centre, but as part of a larger system. In Łódź, I walked this idea by circling an arbitrary ‘centre’ on Kopernika Street. Orbiting around it, I used the camera to shift perspectives and question how centrality is subjective. The centre is not given; it is constructed. So, I suggest: wherever you bring the camera, a new centre is created.
