50 METERS OF OMAYA'S STORYTELLING

The project is a series of ten recorded short stories translated from the memory of the designer’s grandmother Omaya, as visual interpretations. These stories and folktales come from our heritage and have been orally carried through generations by word of mouth. They carry information from different perspectives, such as cultural, anthropological, social, historical, political and so forth.

With a rather modern and personal take on storytelling, the publication aims at bringing the narrator’s voice as close as possible to the audience, along with revealing the multiple layers, messages, emotions and wisdom of each. It aims at taking the readers on a journey from the memory of the storyteller to their senses. Each story is designed in one line where it opens to a certain length.

The full book is 50 Meters.
