The representation of real-life stories of deaf people is a documentary project area.

Format the world of the heroes of the exhibition – is a living space, clearly limited by the contour of your own body. In the process of adapting this space "grows" to the level of an outstretched arm. The curator at the level of emotions, smells, associations and sensations seeking to convey, as in these conditions live project participants. One of them is Irina Povolotsky, describes her experience this way: "Quiet. Very softly. Always. This is always the case. This is deafness. Sometimes in silence – noise. The squeal. Ringing. Frustrating – but it's there. Dark. Sometimes flashes of light, lightning, fireworks. Sometimes – oiled stains of unknown shapes. And it is always. This is day and night. This is blindness. A world without sounds. A world without pictures. It is like this. Forever. Each of us has his own deafness and the blindness. We are deaf blind.
