E SE FOSSE TUTTO NORMALE?

At the festival

For the tenth edition of Bilbolbul, Cineteca opens its doors to the genius of David Wiesner, one of the most loved and sophisticated authors of picture book in the whole world. The realistic style of his drawings, the peculiarity of his imagination and of his wordless stories, make the work of Wiesner a classic of contemporary illustration. The first solo exhibition in Italy dedicated to his work, will follow the common thread of looking inside and outside the panel. Through his cinematic eye, Wiesner invents fantastic worlds so precise that they seem real, or actual and ordinary worlds where the impossible suddenly becomes tangible: flying frogs and ladybug’s universes under a microscope, cats playing with aliens and houses-pools inhabited by the sirens. The viewer will move between zoom and perspectives, humor, suspense and constant tilting. In addition to drawings and preparatory sketches from his best-known books, such as Martedì – that will be published by Orecchio acerbo for the occasion – Mr. Ubik !, Art and Max, you’ll preview Fish Girl boards, first comic book of American artist (yet unpublished), and the preparatory boards for Spot, an app for tablets that plays with the effect of pinch-and-zoom. David Wiesner’s passion for cinema will be the focus of a series of films selected by him on scree in Cineteca during the month of November.
