Caves scroll

“It’s a journey to the centre of the earth, an immersive parchment almost two metres long, full of details and hidden languages. The caves are the frontier of worlds where legends are born and dragons sleep”

This scroll is designed to be as immersive as possible inside the Earth, in a cave. To make the journey even more intense, I strongly advise you to put on your best earphones and choose a calm background sound (piano, organ or ‘cave atmosphere’ on YouTube or similar). As you slowly unroll this parchment, like the time it takes for a cave to form, you may have the sensation of slowing down time, of freezing it, as if to better appreciate it. There’s certainly no closer praise for slowness in terms of landscape than what these places have to offer: this limitless time. What more can you do to achieve a form of freedom than to lose yourself in time? 🤷🏽‍♂️

 

Started in the summer of 2021, it will have taken me almost 4 months (accumulated!) to complete. The original illustration is 2.5 metres long and 30 cm high. On the borderline between popular science and art, I drew inspiration from many different places.

After all that hard work, many sleepless nights, a tortured mind and so on… I’ve also managed to embed several levels of reading as well as a form of coded proto-writing that will enable me to hide many other messages throughout my future work 😊. Some are easily readable, others much less so. A bookmark with the ‘proto-writing’ code will be offered to you…otherwise you may never find it…or even never look for it 😅

If you’re a bit of a gambler, you might find an interpretation of what Palaeolithic art wanted to convey to us.
