The Braille Photography
Analogue Photography, Abstract informal, Analogue, 100x66cm
Go beyond a simple picture. Sharpen your senses
The Braille Photography began as a game between two elements: light and its absence. We all know that there's no picture where there's no light, but there are people who, even without light can see things that we cannot even imagine. I learned braille when my brother started to lose his sight. To better understand his world I slowly approached to this new means of communication. These devices have always fascinated me, making me use them to understand how it works, but only lately I realized that I could use it myself to make other feel what I feel, using Braille and photography together for the first time. My photos show dots, that to most people say nothing but at the same time let them imagine many things. For those who "see" without an exact translation, these points are an impenetrable wall, for others it is the opposite. If we put a picture in the hands of a blind and tell him that this is simply a photograph, without any details, he would be able to see countless worlds in that piece of paper, just like us who see could imagine that these Braille pictures represent many thing. Eyes, as photos, can be deceiving. Close them every now and then and you'll go back to See.
