In a move that we can’t really ignore,  Disney has taken to the streets of Manchester to promote the Marvel TV series Daredevil: Born Again. Namely by unveiling a huge ‘double exposure’ mural at Manchester’s Corn Exchange.

The ‘double exposure’ style used by artist Insane51 allows for three different ways to see the artwork – through a red lens, a blue lens and just with your regular eyes.  The work has been produced in collaboration with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and includes a tactile version for those with sight loss, who can also enjoy the piece. An audio description is also available.

STARBURST Magazine, of course, is based in Manchester, so we definitely noticed this fun piece of marketing.  Artist Insane51 told the press,  “As a huge fan of Daredevil, working on this mural was an incredible experience for me.

“I still remember seeing Daredevil on my screen for the first time when I was 10, and now, getting to bring my own artistic vision to this character feels surreal.  It’s amazing to see how my art style connects with the show’s themes, and I love that people will be able to engage with this piece not just visually but also on a tactile and auditory level. 

“Bringing this new interactive element into my work was something I hadn’t done before, and that made the whole process even more exciting.”

Daredevil: Born Again is Disney’s latest Marvel TV series, and Charlie Cox reprises his role as the infamous vigilante Daredevil, who must take on the Kingpin, played by the excellent Vincent D’Onofrio.
