In place of the retina, the thrill of the senses; in the framework of the focus, the perception of the ideal point. The result of this particular way of capturing the image is on display "You can borrow my eyes", It opens next Saturday, day 21, and sign up 30 December in the lobby of the public library of Paraná.

The experience of the image, their modes of appearance and production are the guiding principle of the work of the photographer Juliana Stein, that conducts photography workshops for people with visual impairments since 2015.

– This is an exhibition that results from our forms of experimentation in the fields of photography and perception of world. The name You can borrow my eyes comes from the interest in observing certain practices and uses we make of our processes to see. The person with visual impairment does not see as I see but I also don't see how she sees, clarifies Juliana Stein.

The show features photos in various dimensions. Among the artists, students who follow the workshop since the first edition, as Isabel Bruck, Wagner Bittencurt, Antonio Nunes and Anastasius Braga, and also pictures of new students, as Adriana Barbosa.

– Each of us comes finding and improving ways to experience photography, the touch of being photographed and the spatial concept, the presence and absence of light – reports Adriana.

The Workshop
