SENSIBITION
Sensibition explores how the human senses can reveal the meaning of a photograph. Photography has predominantly been serving the human sense of sight. Our project aims to turn photography into a personal experience grasped through embodied sensation instead of offering mere visual stimuli. Due to the existential, multisensory, and embodied nature of the experience, the exhibited works become part of us forever. Our research was modelled on participatory design. Through workshops with the photographic artist and visitors, experiments were conducted to decipher individual’s emotional response to different combinations of sound and textiles. Our outcome, illustrated through an interactive physical model and concept video, demonstrates the abstraction of specific human senses to create a multisensory experience of three photographs by Jinsun Park.
