Hamilton writes,
Making the orifice of language the orifice of sight, a small pinhole camera is placed within the mouth’s interior.
When my mouth opens, the film is exposed.
The resulting image is a trace presence of standing or sitting “face to face” with a person or landscape.
The figure or landscape becomes the pupil in the eye shape created by my mouth, much the same way as one sees a tiny image of oneself in the reflection of another person’s pupil.
