"SEEING WITH PHOTOGRAPHY... The work of a group of photographers based in NYC who are visually impaired, sighted and totally blind. The JCC in Manhattan On view: Jan 28-Feb 2 Talk with artists: Sat, Jan 30, 2:30 pm...
Seeing with Photography Collective is a group of photographers based in New York City who are visually impaired, sighted and totally blind. Coming from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, we share
an awareness of sight loss, along with the determination to
dialogue and integrate our images into a more universal context.
Sighted assistants focus and compose the view camera?s frame
directed by the blind artist. Then, in a darkened room, we leave
the camera's shutter open as we slowly paint our sitter with a
small flashlight ...human scaled exposures, lasting many
minutes, rather than the instant shutter click we typically
hear. Luminous distortions, blurred or glowing forms result from
the technique, not digital altering. The nature of our visual
limitations can provoke any viewer or perceiver of these
portraits…Is less, more? What is seeing? What does one choose to
see...
The Second Annual ReelAbilities: NY Disabilities Film Festival
is dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of the
lives, stories and artistic expressions of people with different
abilities. The festival presents award-winning films in various
locations throughout the NY metropolitan area. Discussions and
other engaging programs will bring the community together to
explore, discuss and celebrate the diversity of our shared human
experience.”
