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: “It’s really cool to see how easily Tim and his parents talk about Tim’s artificial eye.”

Tim:

“I’m just normal. When I was ten, I once gave a class presentation about my eye. Yeah, I think everyone knows about it. Do we ever talk about it? Yeah, in the morning when I’ve taken my eye out. I take it out at night, you see. It’s just more comfortable after a long day.”

“I don’t really think about it. I also don’t have any trouble with depth perception. I’m just good at playing soccer.”
