Blind Light / How It Is





Two artists attempting something somewhat similar: creating disorientation through sensory deprivation.

Blind Light
How It Is

We would suggest that the Gormley piece is more successful on at least two levels: The presence of others enhances the experience in Blind Light but not in How It Is. We are used to losing our vision in the dark but not in the light so the Blind Light experience is far more disconcerting.
