Architectural Design
Haptic installation
Hold on to the railing, let your hand slide underneath. Feel how the textures change, and how your feelings change with them. What happens when you rely on touch rather than sight?
A Tangible Tale works as a haptic experience that guides you through a familiar story of growth, vulnerability and challenge. By touching the rail, you listen with your hands. The work invites you to slow down, to become aware of the way your body instinctively reads space and narrative through your hands. Its aim is to challenge the dominance of sight in how we experience the narrative.
Thanks to all the workshop specialists at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie for their valuable guidance.
