Ottonella Mocellin-Nicola Pellegrini | La città negata (Blind Walk)

June 14, 2018 - November 4, 2018

La città negata (blind walk) is the result of a collaboration with Santo Graziano and Peppino Re, two Sicilian friends blind since birth. It consists of a sound piece in the form of an audio guide, downloadable (from the website) onto smartphones and audible whilst walking through the described area. The narration unveils an unconventional Palermo, where artistic perception is experienced through darkness and the lack of sight is compensated through a wealth of signs through which it is possible to decode the world.

Opening Hours:
Tuesday – Sunday, 10.00 – 19.00.

Free audio guide headphone rentals available at Manifesta 12 ticketing at the entrance of Teatro Garibaldi in Piazza Magione.
