Super Human - Welcome Collection

  In fact, the Super Human exhibition was extremely shocking for me, because I had never seen such exhibitions related to people with disabilities or human enhancements until I saw the Super Human exhibition. 

  Probably, this kind of exhibition can not be held in my country, Japan, in terms of morals and ethics. My first impression of this exhibition was astounding, however it was better opportunity to know about people with disabilities, human enhancements and the latest technology.

  There were a host of intriguing works and objects. I select a image product, 'Eyemaker', Dorothy Cross, 2000. This image product explains process of making glass eye for persons lost their eye. I found a short video which is similar to the image product I saw in the exhibition.

       

The Glass Eye Maker from Tomas Leach on Vimeo.
The story of the last glass eye maker in Britain. 

Filmed on 16mm whilst I was working at Fabrica in Italy.

Directed by Tomas Leach.

Cinematography by Ben Todd.

  

  I was impressed by this video. I did not know that whole process of making glass eye is done by human hand. It could need superior technique and plenty of experience.
I think glass eye is really beautiful and delicate like art creation.
