'No man is an island, entire of itself
Every man is a piece of the continent
A part of the main'

John Donne


Project developed as a result of an artist residency at the MSU Muzej Suvremene Umjetnosti Zagreb (Museum of Contemporary Art) in Zagreb, Croatia. The video pieces show the results of the experience working with a local deafblind community - Dodir - within the area of the museum and its title refers to the idea of isolation and the basic need for any human being to communicate with their fellows and surroundings.
The artistic practice takes then as their point of departure the whole of human relations and their social context; identify their needs and turn their narratives and peculiar realities into a joint piece of art. Deafblindness is a severe disability which is different and unique.
The final film pieces, specifically edited for the Museum's digital facade format, were screened daily in loop at dusk during the whole summer of 2013.

Las piezas de vídeo muestran los resultados de la experiencia de trabajar con una comunidad sordociega local - Dodir - dentro del área del museo, y su título refiere a la idea de aislamiento y la necesidad básica de cualquier ser humano para comunicarse con sus semejantes y su entorno.
La práctica artística toma entonces como punto de partida el conjunto de las relaciones humanas y su contexto social; identificar sus necesidades y traducir sus peculiares realidades y narrativas en una pieza de arte conjunta. La sordoceguera es una discapacidad severa diferente y única.
La edición final de las películas, específica para el formato de la fachada digital del museo, se emitió diariamente y en loop durante el verano de 2013 al atardecer.
Two years ago I bought a camera to my wife,
and now she takes pictures for me

We are still dreaming horses
Sometimes in my shoulder there is a ghost,
watching over me ...
