Shot in the Dark

Pete Eckert, Sonia Soberats and Bruce Hall are all photographers - and all three are blind. They devote their lives to creating images. What do they see in their mind's eyes? Do they sense images that we, the sighted majority, overlook, or don't take into consideration? "Even with no input the brain keeps creating images," says Pete Eckert, while Sonia Soberats notices that "I only understood how powerful light is after I went blind." For Bruce Hall, his camera has become a bridge between him an the world of the others. Eckert, Soberats and Hall embrace fantasy, chance, and contingency at a fundamental level. Shot in the Dark enriches our understanding of perception and creation. We all close our eyes in sleep, the sighted and blind alike, and in our dreams - we see.
