He ended up in the Flemish town of Ghent. At a loose end and with a few hours to spare he visited the Museum voor Schone Kunsten. Face to face with Hieronymous Bosch’s St Jerome at Prayer (c. 1500) he suffered a bout of something akin to Stendhal’s Syndrome and synesthesia and passed out. He heard colours, smelled sound, tasted touch. Rescue came in the form of a Belgian synesthesia associate , who recognised the symptoms, and rushed to his side to offer sympathy and advice on this condition. McNally has been indebted ever since. In honouring this moment of identification, this exhibition will show the work of several self-taught Belgian synesthetes who are members of the association.
