When we are frontally facing something, we usually are aware that there is more to be seen. Phenomenologists identify what we are implicitly aware of that lies beyond the immediate field of vision. Thus Merleau-Ponty writes:

The horizon … is what guarantees the identity of the object throughout the exploration; it is the correlative of the impending power which my gaze retains over the objects which it has just surveyed, and which it already has over the fresh details which it is about to discover. (1962: 68)
