In Plain Sight

Tony Sarre: Making Pictures Tactile


Listen Later

On this episode of In Plain Sight Simon and Andrew interview filmmaker Tony Sarre on his project "Road to Paran" which he made last year with his project partner Lincoln MacKinnon. Paran is a small community that rests at the foothills of the Andes north of Lima, Peru and is known for having high rates of blindness. There, Tony and Lincoln got to know the locals and learn about their daily experiences living in a community where one in every eight people is blind.

By documenting their journey through photos the team has created a series of tactile 3D printed models that pair with soundscapes and audio description for a totally unique experience. These installations were displayed late last year in the Fremantle Arts Centre for people to touch, listen and see.
