Being deaf from birth, Justin LeBlanc learned to rely upon his other senses to gain a holistic perception of the world which, to Justin, is a normal perception. However, removal of one sense causes a dramatic rearrangement of the others, resulting in an altered perception of space and time.
In his 2012 thesis show at the Art Institute of Chicago entitled “Inaudible,” Justin presented an audio-visual depiction of both hearing and deaf people communicating while underwater, where all people are challenged with the distortion of sound. Justin revisits that theme with his 2015 Spring/Summer Collection, where sound is secondary to sight and touch, and perceptions of scent and taste; and all senses are integrated into an Inaudible experience.
