Seeing Things

Åberg Kati

Seeing Things tells the true story of a woman who unexpectedly goes blind at the age of fifty. The piece follows her as she drifts further from the sighted community into her own imaginary world, which gradually becomes oppressive, even frightening. Now you see it… now you don’t.
