Audio Description for WW2 Bedroom, 2025, Video Still co-created by Participant Thirty-four and Victoria Hamilton, Chromaluxe print on HD Metal, 25 x 45cm.
The artwork titled ‘WW2 Bedroom’ is an unframed print created between 2024 – 2025. It measures 45 cm width and 25 cm high and is a Chromaluxe print on HD Metal – a method chosen to echo the clarity, depth, and vividness of the experience of a Charles Bonnet Vision.
In the scene, a woman stands in a bedroom, her gaze fixed on the large visage of two soldiers. Positioned on the left, she occupies a third of the image from top to bottom. We view her with her back towards us head turned and face in profile, looking at the blurred image in front of her. Her expression is neutral and her dress appear to be a brown coloured garment although she is in full shadow, so difficult to tell. She stands before a bed draped with a red or orange blanket. A window with a translucent curtain in the top left corner filters light into the room. On the right side, there is a timber desk with bits and pieces on top, a chair, and a picture hanging above. The room also has a wardrobe although nearly obscured by the soldiers image.
The soldiers occupy the remaining two-thirds of the space, appearing hazy and indistinct, evoking a memory or a vision. The muted colours and grainy, soft focus lend a super eight movie like quality.
The overall impression is one of past events, visions, and quite contemplation. Participant Thirty Four lives in Adelaide, Australia. This image is a still from a one minute and five second video created for the Visions of Charles Bonnet Syndrome research by Victoria Hamilton.

Audio Description for WW2 Bedroom diagrams, 2025, created by Victoria Hamilton, in Adobe Illustrator, 40 x 10cm.
The diagram is titled ‘WW2 Bedroom: the vision of Participant Thirty-four. It is a diagram created between 2023 – 2025. It measures 40 cm width and 10 cm high and is a multicoloured print on self-adhesive material, chosen for its clarity in gallery settings and ease of installation.
On the left end of the image, a black-and-white QR code enclosed in a square with chamfered corners spans the full height. To the right at the top, a sentence reads: “scan for audio description of 2025 video still co-created by Participant Thirty-four, and Victoria Hamilton.” Further across the top, the title ‘WW2 Bedroom, appears centrally placed in large bold black text. While to the right edge is ‘the vision of Participant Thirty-four’. Beneath, a sentence reads: “video still co-created by Participant Thirty-four, and Victoria Hamilton.” Below this top line of text, stretching from the QR code to the image’s right edge, is a line of four coloured shapes: a pale pink dotted circle, grey rectangle with curved corners, a purple dotted circle, and a pink circle. These shapes are connected by a thin white line running behind them.
The pale pink dotted circle features a title arc of text reading: Action taken on having CBS vision. Across the middle is written: ‘Their own methods of coping with CBS, such as retraining their brain and using distractions like listening to the radio at night.’ The grey rectangle with curved corners contains a world map with small coloured placemarks indicating participants origins. A light blue fuzzy circle is located over the South Australian region of the world. Next is a purple dotted circle containing text reading: I have to say, half the time I was in denial.” The final diagram is a larger pink dotted circle with text: no loss of vision, I had cataract repairs last year. Now no need for glasses but have severe glare issues.
The overall information represents a participant from the South of Australia who presently has no loss of vision and has replaced their denial with other coping methods.
