Weit entfernt von hier findet im California Museum of Photography die Ausstellung Sight Unseen statt, die Werke blinder Fotografen präsentiert.
Warum fotografiert eine blinde Person, wenn sie das Foto später selbst nicht sehen kann?
“The matter isn’t how a blind person takes photographs,” writes Evgen Bavcar, ” but rather why he would want images.” The simple answer is a basic human need for images. “What I mean by the desire for images is that when we imagine things, we exist,” says Bavcar. “I can’t belong to this world if I can’t imagine it in my own way. When a blind person says ‘I imagine,’ it means he too has an inner representation of external realities.”
