NO MORE ILLUSTRATION_2020 

I remember a classmate once told me “I will not read fantasy stories to my future children, I don’t want them to discover too late what the world actually is”. I wish my classmate reading some more illustrated book in the future to re-discover what the world could be.

 

I was wondering: when you are a child, the imagination is at the top but, growing up, you might lose it a bit; then, why do we have drawings in the so called “children books” and not in the “adults books”, shouldn’t it be the contrary? Or is it that maybe the illustration I used to see when I was younger trained my imagination that I later on used as well during the reading of non-illustrated books.

 

I strongly believe in the importance of childhood and imagination. 

I don't trust this strict dualism between the world of children and the world of adults. What should change in a story wrote for children is the language, not the content. Children are not stupid at all. In those "childish" drawings, I oppose to this unreal dualism that has been built up over time. 

 

I am still young, yet again I feel I have to relearn how to play. I have often perceived mistrust regarding the artistic environment, a mistrust that is harmful to this world that tries to keep everything under rational control.

 

Software: first hand-drawing, then I used Premiere Pro to combine the pictures (Nikon D-3400) together.

Sound: voice and ukulele.
