About the Piece

Here Prasannakumar has translated key passages of the bible where Christ speaks about the blind into the touch-language of brail. He displays it elegantly, black on black, so it is nearly hidden from our view. Set behind glass, the works are complex in meaning. They are certainly compassionate toward those without eyesight though position the viewer as equally debilitated as those who are blind: the enlightenment of the text is distanced from all of us.
