Blind
OUR MYTHS ARE OBSOLETE

Blind explores our denial of the studied, validated, stated, detailed crisis of climate change for which we are collectively responsible : natural, economic, social and demographic disasters. And yet we do nothing, but continue our frenzy of senseless consumption and expend our energy in war.

Blindness is a recurring theme in myths, particularly Greek myths. Tiresias and Oedipus are well known examples. Blindness is both a punishment and a way to change one’ s view of the world and oneself. 

The exhibition consists of five themes displayed in an original installation, thirteen images and seven short stories. It is part of the trilogy The 5th Season.

The themes (don't look up, don't lool beyond, look away, look down on, the suicide) explore our strategies of denial: not seeing, not trying to understand, looking away, despising. The theme of suicide refers to that of madness, that is, the exclusion from society of people who think differently.

The seven short stories, published on this website, feature Tiresias, Daphne, Oedipus and his daughter Antigone, Clarissa Dalloway, and George and Martha, characters from the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" in stories that take place in our time.
