POPVILLE

About

When embarking on the pop-up technique, some authors haven’t been unable to resist the construction of a kind of book-show, where colors, shapes and volumes fight noisily among themselves. Perhaps this explains the reception that Popville had worldwide. A book that appeared counter-current, a true lesson of a rare sobriety and graphic elegance. On the first page of this book, where the stillness of a landscape marked by an isolated church, surrounded with trees, we find the first paragraph of a narrative about the evolution of an urban landscape, disarming in its simplicity, where we feel the passage of time page after page. A short film where each reader sets his script and its soundtrack, as the city grows and echoes in itself. Bruaá
