In 2018, graphic designer Volodymyr Havrysh, and screenwriter Andrii Benytsky created the short comic called “Blindman” The comic itself is about a blind person who feels the oscillations of sound waves that come from the inside and diverge through the surface by touching the walls. The comic first appeared as a project for the international comics festival Fumetto 2018 (Lucerne, Switzerland). Havrysh’s and Benytsky’s work appeared to have been selected by the judges and ended up on a short list as one of the ten finalist projects among the members of the exhibition. 

A book version of the story has a voluminous image, which was made by the embossing the paper, and it was followed by the poetic lines, that are complete with Braille font. An exhibition version was created just as a comic, and it is incased in four plaster reliefs, and an embroidery on a long piece of fabric, that imitates a thin layer of the sound fluctuations on the wall.  By doing so, the authors are telling the plot of the story  through the material: while going through the exposition, the viewer is not really flipping the regular pages of a book, but rather is touching the notes on the plaster with one’s own hand. The goal of Havrysh and Benytsky is to focus on a blind person by creating the convenient environment for easy and astute touches, that are almost impossible for a person, who is used to seeing the world through the images and texts.
