Over the past two years, Éric Baudelaire has worked closely with students at the Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles (INJA), the National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris. Founded in 1785, the school is closely associated with Louis Braille, who studied and later taught there. Rather than treating the students as subjects, Baudelaire invited them to become collaborators, allowing their own experiences and ways of sensing the world to shape the works.

In Car de Lune (For the Moon), six students filmed their daily lives, families, and their worlds using handheld DV cameras, while Baudelaire and cinematographer Claire Mathon recorded the school from their own perspective. These different viewpoints are presented side by side rather than merged into a single narrative, reminding us that vision is only one of many ways of experiencing the world.

Clair de lune (Moonlight), a series of touchable sculptures, began with a simple invitation: each student was asked to create something they considered beautiful. Their small handmade forms were 3D-scanned, enlarged, and carved in cherry wood, and they were locally produced in Korea for the Busan Biennale. Each sculpture, accompanied by a plaque displaying its title in Braille, encourages viewers to touch it.

Presented together in the Former Busan Nam High School, the film and sculptures invite us to experience the world through sight, touch, and sound alike. Together, they open up another way of what it means to perceive, to know, and to be together.
