Foreword : Because visual deficiency is a disability which concerns more than 180 million people throughout the world, because this figure will double in the next 20 years and because image is necessary to all, we owe it to ourselves to study the representation of image by the visually impaired.
It is by using photography as a support that people will be able to express feelings which are not only visual.
Note on purpose :The essential is invisible to the eye. It is on the basis of this premise that the project Point de vue: To touch with its eyes, to look with its hands, was established.
The project was conceived because of the need to know. Also born from a passion for photography.
But this project was especially conceived from discussions between people, discussions which bring ideas, raise questions and sometimes bring answers. Those discussions made it possible to build a project and to give it shape through several point of views.
The goal of this project is not to allow a visually impaired person to see what he/she does not see.
But it was designed to allow all to create the work of a photographer, with the assistance of the various supports of information, connotative or denotative: The viewer reproduces in his head a mental image of the photography according to his own point of view.
Point de vue, because it is our manner of looking which defines what we see.
