I portrayed the participants, and they each showed snippets of what is important in their respective life. Five large black and white portraits and a triptych by each participant were on display at SJCD for two months. Large single photos were displayed at the bus stops. Furthermore, a 20 min audio description of the exhibition was on continuous show in a completely dark room, with the dual purpose of conveying another dimension of experience to those who see with their eyes, and to help presenting the photo exhibition to those who see with their other senses.
