Kuling - en digital bilderbok

Abstract

In what way do pictures allow for freedom of interpretation and thoughts rather than understanding reality in a high paced medium? Children today are exposed more than ever to images trough various media. Children’s culture in the digital world has, trough games and apps, become more cross-generational than literature. Unfortunately, there are many digital books that loose the story, as the creator gets lost in technology and/or in education and morals. Rarely are images used as the main narrator. This project explores the picture as the narrator, the image as cross-generational, and the meeting between sound, image, and text. Kuling could be about life´s big and small issues, about loneliness and friendship, fantasy and reality, or boredom and longing. It’s up to you to decide.
