Blink!

blink sightsaver's event oxo tower wharf

If you were about to lose your sight, what’s the last picture you’d want to see?

Experience stunning photographs disappearing in the blink of an eye….

A powerful interactive art exhibition from Sightsavers.

Most of us blink without thinking about it – we do it more than 20 times every minute. But for people suffering from the eye disease trachoma, each blink can be agony. With advanced trachoma, every blink brings them closer to blindness, until eventually they lose their sight completely.

This interactive photography exhibition aims to raise awareness of Sightsavers’ End is in Sight campaign to eliminate blinding trachoma.

As visitors view the digital photos in the exhibition, every blink they make will cause the images to change, leaving the photos permanently altered. The result will be unpredictable and unknown: an artistic interpretation of the vision loss that trachoma can cause.
