Through My Lens is an interactive performance that combines hospitality, image analysis and spoken text within a Zoom environment.
Amy Amantea is an artist with a lived experience of blindness, having a total of 2% vision in one eye. She is also a photographer whose practice includes walking the city at twilight looking for interesting light patterns and capturing them with her camera.
Through My Lens is an interdisciplinary performance that brings Amantea’s life experiences into one space and shares with audiences what it is to live with blindness. The audience will act as Amantea’s “eyes”, describing her photos —which have never been seen by her — back to her. This interaction will open up a new realm of perception: a reciprocal collision of the visual and non-visual experience.
