Overview
I Look To You And I See Nothing was an exhibition curated by Olivier Varenne and Nicole Durling, and marked a collaboration between Sharjah Art Foundation and MONA, Tasmania. Combining light, fog, touch and augmented reality, the exhibition aimed to challenge and distort the sensory affect of visitors’ bodies. This publication accompanied the exhibition and includes forewords by Hoor Al Qasimi and David Walsh, followed by a short essay from Varenne, as well as descriptions and visuals of the works that were on view.
