Musée Champollion, Les Écritures du Monde – Exposition : Verre à verve

Works to touch, theblown glass sculptures by Antonin Funès are engraved by sandblasting then polished with a particular technique developed by the artist, in order to obtain the texts by Emmanuel Simier previously transcribed into BrailleThe exhibition is accompanied by a book in Braille and large print so that blind, partially sighted and sighted people can read all the engraved texts.

“Against all odds, write a few verses. For a few moments, become a verse-blower, choose glass for ink.” Emmanuel Simier
