I have not been afraid of going blind for a long time  

“A gradual loss of sight sharpens the senses and sows confusion, as the experimental memoir by the Swiss visual artist Yannick Mosimann oscillates somewhere between the joy of discovering the deeper layers of vision and the fear of where this exploration might eventually lead. This is the risk of transgression. Anxiety is growing. The world seen through weakening eyes gains in intensity, but is also populated by demons slipping in unnoticed. The director-exorcist uncompromisingly builds his new identity and its visual representation. The contrast, waves of color, a dark shadow and blinding glare, a persistent black spot in the center. I am not afraid, I am not afraid, I am not afraid! Helplessness in the face of beauty that is born and disappears in an instant. With vivid images and a spectacular soundtrack, Mosimann tells us about a visual prostheses that, on the one hand, bring us closer to reality and, on the other, pushes it away.”
