On Thursday, June 13, 2024, the “Oog in OOG” exhibition opened at the muZIEum. This exhibition featured photographs of people with eye prostheses. The portraits were taken by Marina Marinkovic, who is not only an ophthalmologist but also a photographer. The OOG in OOG Association published a booklet featuring this series of portraits.

Listen to Marina's audio clip:

Marina: “I’ve noticed that pouring coffee is a challenge for Lenie. Lenie curses quite colorfully when something goes wrong, but she just keeps on doing everything anyway.”

Lenie:

“I can do everything just fine with one eye, even sculpting. Sometimes I miss, but that happens even to people with two eyes. Just keep going. When I pour coffee, I have to hold the coffee pot right up against the cup, but I manage just fine. I also still drive; I just passed my driver’s license exam again.”
