KIM PERCY
Kim Percy is a multidisciplinary artist from Australia with over 30 years of experience in the visual arts, also working as a university lecturer and researcher. Her recent work focuses on the conceptual axis of dyslexia—diagnosed late—exploring how this condition influences visual perceptions, spatial patterns, narrative awareness, and the social masking of neurodiverse individuals. In exhibitions such as *Visualising the Invisible* (2025) and *Diverse Elements* (2023), she blends painting, photography, digital media, video, and augmented reality, seeking to make visible the invisible effects of neurodiversity, while simultaneously problematizing personal identity, social invisibility, and the impact of living while concealing aspects of oneself. Percy also participates in prestigious art festivals, has been a finalist for relevant awards such as the Bowness Photographic Prize, and works on projects that integrate art, curatorship, and the environment, highlighting her commitment to social issues beyond aesthetics.

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
The work titled “Hiding In Plain Sight” is part of the series “The Mask vs The Real Thing,” exhibited at the Ballarat Foto Biennale, Australia. Like the video, it presents visual issues connected to the perception of feeling out of harmony with the world around us. There is an identity and coherence in the works, aiming to develop a thought process that highlights how being dyslexic goes far beyond difficulties in reading and writing within traditional parameters. The issue is posed from the perspective of perceiving the world under a different visual awareness, where the world is not divided between “us” and “them,” allowing for the prevalence of values of integration.

NEW INVENTION | SILENT DISCO
This work discusses how a person can appear calm and controlled on the outside, while being out of control on the inside. The concept therefore works with all kinds of masks in society, in their most diverse aspects. The use of Augmented Reality integrates the research of the series The Real Thing, which seeks to use new technologies to visually convey emotional responses within a society where masks are continuously used in social, economic, affective, and behavioral matters, also involving issues related to power games and all kinds of prejudice.

Dyslexia is more than just reading and writing; it's also about how I perceive the world.
