Dr Mumbo

Eyes wired shut

Dr Mumbo is concerned about the lengths founder of audio specialist agency Eardrum Ralph van Dijk has gone in his attempt to raise awareness about UNESCO’s World Radio Day.

van Dijk, who was the president of the jury for the Radio Lions at Cannes last year, has gone on a “visual strike” by sewing his eyes shut.

On the bizarre stunt he said: “It’s all too easy to take radio for granted, even though it remains the medium that reaches the widest audience around the globe. My aim is to pass on a message of hope and remind people about the power of radio. Especially large advertisers.”

On how his family had reacted to the procedure, van Dijk said: “I’ve no idea, I couldn’t see them.”

For the concerned amongst you Dr Mumbo is pleased to report no eyelids were actually harmed in the making of this image, which is of course digitally enhanced.
