FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

New solo moving image work in progress from Juliana Capes, instigated by Cove Park’s Experimental Film and Moving Image Residency 2020. Featuring integrated audio description and creative captioning/subtitles, “My Blind Fingertips” describes a rainbow without naming it and talks about difference between seeing and feeling, tangibility and accessibility. It has grown from Juliana’s passion for equal access to the arts and her experience of  working with a visually impaired audience for the last 20 years in Scottish galleries as a visual describer .

This is a work in progress and has a working title of “My Blind Fingertips”. The submitted file is a sketch/ first draft that will be finished by the end of 2022. Intended as an indication of direction of travel towards a finished work, it is envisioned to be either presented as a single screen work in a cinema space or projected large as part of an installation in a gallery space and either option can be discussed while the work is still in development.

Juliana Capes (1974, Grimsby) and is an award winning multi disciplinary visual artist. She has worked in the arts in Scotland for the last 25 years, exhibiting most recently at CCA, Campleline, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshops and Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket Gallery. She showed her previous collaborative film “Be Different Today” at Alchemy Film Festival in 2020.
