This Project is an appropriation of a short story made by the Argentinean writer Julio Cortázar. His stories distinguish for its very surreal content and, apparently, nonsense form, but always is a hidden meaning behind his writings. This short story, named ‘Más sobre escaleras’ (More about stairs), is the second part of another story called ‘Instructions for going up the stairs’. This second part continues with the tradition of the ‘instruction’ form, but the difference is that this instructions are about how you can go up the stairs backwards. I found the story in an audio clip told by Cortázar itself, so I didn’t wanted to miss the opportunity to hacking it, and that’s why I made the animation like a literal interpretation of the story. |
