Wandering Star
Photographer Vanessa Vettorello’s project Wandering Star investigates double vision, an often misunderstood and complex condition that is rarely discussed openly
TL;DR
- Diplopia, or double vision, is the perception of two images of a single object, often caused by eye muscle misalignment (strabismus).
- While children may suppress the double image, adults and older children experience significant difficulties with everyday tasks.
- Photographer Vanessa Vettorello's project 'Wandering Star' investigates the relationship between strabismus, identity, and the experience of seeing and being seen.
- The project includes personal stories, reconstructed memories, and portraits of individuals affected by strabismus.
- The goal is to bring awareness to the stigma and lack of understanding surrounding strabismus.
