Blind Vision: Napoli installation simulates blindness through iris photography
Annalaura di Luggo's Blind Vision installation in Piazza dei Martiri, Naples, uses macro-photography of blind and visually impaired people's irises to simulate blindness. The project, which received the Matronato from Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee (Madre museum), is an official event of Maggio dei Monumenti di Napoli 2017. The installation features a black dome, 15 light boxes with iris images, sound design by Paky Di Maio, a tactile work called Essence, a photo exhibition A Journey of Light by Sergio Siano, and a documentary teaser by Nanni Zedda. Curated by Raisa Clavijo, the project aims to raise awareness about social integration of the visually impaired. After Naples, the tour will visit Rome, Milan, Florence, Turin, Venice, São Paulo, New York, Miami, Dubai, and Paris in 2018.
