Degree Work Final Project (Narration)
Based upon Narration, the set of Flag Books applies Todorov’s Narrative Theory of equilibrium to news stories that not only affects those immediately connected to the incident, but also to its surroundings, i.e. the Ripple Effect.
Each book narrates an event that has affected the world; metaphors encompass the stories and are conveyed through the book’s properties that match the fragility of the equilibrium and its relation to a stage in the ripple effect. Variables such as different weights, thicknesses, spans, sizes and paper type helped produce a unique outcome for each event, yet all the books tie in together. Mirroring how people learn, the underlying links are revealed once each book is read.
Photographs taken by Nauman Abdul-Hafeez.
Below is a stop motion video clip to demonstrate the way each book is read:
An exploration of narration led to this experimental stop motion animation, using scrabble tiles and 300 photos to tell the story of the quick brown fox.
