It is impossible to see the entirety of an object at one moment in time, from a single point of view. Be it a cube, a chair, or one’s own body, there is always a side that goes unseen. Whilst artists and scientists alike have tried to overcome this limit through complex configurations of mirrors or technological enhancements, reality nevertheless presents itself to us as partial, as incomplete. There is always a remainder left out of the impression things and beings make upon our retina, be it the bottom of one’s feet or the backside of a chair.
Despite this fact, we are still able to project the remainder, unconsciously filling out the contours of what is out of view. I may see only the front of a car approaching and yet still cognise this as a car (complete with a trunk, with rear lights and so on).
