"Irreverence" is a project about community, rebellion and sandwiches.
The goal was to explore a comic, but to work it out as a whole, dynamic composition on a wall (as seen in the picture above), instead of directly on a book.
The story follows a student and part-time worker in a café, who is asked to make a new sandwich for the café menu and to make it "irreverent".
Struggling between this task and how to write a meaningful Master's Thesis, the character's story becomes a blend of fiction and the reality of my own experience on Erasmus in Brussels, working at the Drawing department of ENSAV La Cambre; the community I found, the freedom I had and the sandwiches I learned to make.
The project is a play of the physical juxtaposition of text and drawing in mixed media and with the emotional or mental juxtapositions of randomness and attention, clarity and distraction, and intimacy and the presence of a public. It is not a pragmatic answer to my personal questions. It is chaotic and in all of it there is life represented, there is continuity.
Below are the drawings as they are edited in the pages of the final publication.↓
There are also some animation experiments that relate to this project HERE.
