What happens when the vision disappears and we can no longer experience our environment as before? Do the other senses sharpen? Does reality become blurred?
Blindfolded and wearing headphones, participants are gently and safely guided through a surreal world of binaural sound recordings by a silent companion. Sounds and movements merge with inner images. The dream-like journey is both familiar and strange at the same time. The boundary between reality and fantasy becomes blurred. The one-to-one audio performance is an invitation to overcome fears, surrender to uncertainty, relinquish control and at the same time be completely with yourself.
Beyond Vision is an audio performance by Ilona Marti, produced in 2019 for the project Tracks in a Box. Tracks in a Box was curated by B_Tourin collaboration with CLB Berlin, made possible by the kind support of the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
