the blind sight

In a world saturated with images, the blind sight (2015) invites participants and spectators to draw on their imagination to reveal the intangible power of words and sounds.

This initial exploration invited the public to submit a text describing a place of their choice. Recorded with the actor Matthew Kaltenborn and enhanced by an ambient soundscape, this narrative became the heart of an immersive experience.

Equipped with headphones and opaque glasses (distinct from any virtual reality headset), the listeners, seated and cut off from the outside world, allowed themselves to be guided. Here, movement through space is suggested solely by the interplay of stereo sound, allowing for a virtual or psychological exploration of various places whilst remaining physically still.
