BIEL, 10 YEARS OLD, VITORIA-GASTEIZ: I WONDER #3, SELF-INTERVIEW UNDER LOCKDOWN
Ellen Duthie
In our third Self-interview Under Lockdown, the first we have received in illustrated format, 10-year-old Biel, from Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain), wonders how one might create the illusion of outdoors indoors.
Some background to his drawing:
“It’s based on true events. Biel made himself a house with cushions and blankets and that way when he came out, he had the feeling that he was going outdoors. He put a film on the TV and felt like he’d gone to the cinema.”
‘I LOVE GOING CAMPING!’
We love the idea of creating outdoors indoors and the idea of doing it by generating the feeling of coming out of one place into another. The details of the man walking the dog outside the window and the TV reporting on Covid-19 complete the image very interestingly. And Biel standing there, in the middle, triumphant and enjoying his creation of a world where camping meets cinema without having to, and indeed without being able to, leave the house.
I Wonder, Self-interviews Under Lockdown is a project by Wonder Ponder inviting 5 to 18 year olds to ask questions and think about the coronavirus crisis and its consequences through self-interviews in audio, written or ilustrated format.
If you want to send a self-interview for us to include it in the project, please read this entry and follow these instructions.
