SHE LAUGHS
A project for the Gatchin Night of Light Festival. The theme of 2025 is «The Game».
" You can’t see the inspiration. You can only feel it. — How can he feel that? — It’s when something sleepy, lazy, very heavy and impenetrable, like a hippo becomes light as a cloud… and it flies…
The conceptual view of an object
The concept of an art object is built around the image of a pink hippos, referring to a cartoon series called Smixaries. This image has become a metaphor for me in a game that makes us, as a society, overcome difficulties and inspire us. A pink hippo that looks like a dream or a dream represents a naive and sincere belief in a miracle, and its preposterous preposterousness is a symbol of a game that helps us to cope with daily difficulties and to excite as a balloon.
