– B.O.D.Y. - the second skin
In this exhibition SKIN at Dark gallery CPH, I would like to share the intelligence of "reading" through touch. It is a kind of the scanning. I think that this act of touching as a perception is more connected directly to the brain than seeing-in.
When medical doctors check the health status of a person, they "listen" to the sounds of the body (heartbeat and breathing) and "touch" the body.
I think that Louis Braille who developed this braille case was really the great exploration.
