SEEN UNSEEN SCENE
Print LAB @ Rijksmuseum Twenthe
Muzak & Riha Muzak & Riha Experimental Film Installation
In cooperation with blind people the artist duo Muzak & Riha realized a touch-film.
Over 100 images were modeled solemnly by blind participants.
In order for them to work autonomously, self-determined and reflexive within their image-production, Muzak & Riha developed a special procedure of creating printing blocks.
The participants modeled their images associatively to a priorly edited film soundscape. Later on those images were animated at the moments in time for which they were made for.

"Bodies and objects are within space and diegesis within time. Which well lies within the beholder and
the time he takes to view or feel the content of an image."

----------------------------------------------------------------
In the exhibition set-up @ Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Muzak & Riha connect cinematic formal components of image, time and diegesis in such a way that film sound is audible and images become visible and haptical traceable.
The recipient is invited to discover a new timing whilst viewing and touching the images, hence to construct his own film within his imagination.
Juxtaposing this experimental set-up, is the cinema-space showing the pictures at such moments in time, where they were initially intended to by the projects participants.
