(a brighter version)

This piece is the result of the process of learning the visual grammar used by Warja Honegger-Lavater (1913 - 2007) in «Stories Without Words»; folding books that the illustrator has made since the 60's where she narrated classic fairytales by using only symbols and abstract figures invented by her. It is a sequence of 36 computer graphics transferred to slide film, elaborated in a hermetic language for the public but hypothetically understandable for her, trying to realise the emancipatory idea implicitly contained in her work.
