« French photographer Marie Liesse traces the footsteps of her husband’s late blind friend by taking the portraits of students attending the National Institute for the Blind Youth. The photographic exchange between the students and Marie Liesse echoes the remembrance of her husband’s adolescent friendship, and conveys the bridge that exist between the two worlds – that of the blind and the sighted.
In addition to photographic works and documentary films, the exhibition also presents touchable photographs which were produced in collaboration with the visually impaired community in France and Japan, creating a space where visitors can experience Marie Liesse’s works with their own sense. »
