Bookproject. For me space is in general is a very undefined place. As I think it encourage everybody to use their whole imagination and creativity I will use this unknown area to create my own place, figures and spacy environments. I am going to make an illustrated book for children which consists of these imaginary protagonists and will lead them to an abstract way of creating their own playground. the book will give them the opportunity to reconstruct the creatures by themselfs and learn how to create their own „aliens“. When the child is interacting with the object playing a part in the story it‘s more easy for them to get a connection between the actual sense of making up something in addition to the creative process. they can use the „aliens“ they build before to make up further stories and play them within their family. In the end their will be a book which provides a inter-social way of reading, listening, building and a wide range of playing effects on little children as much as on adults. It is „talking“ to different senses and invites everybody to join who loves to see the world and especially the space more open minded and in a creatively way of thinking about “out there”.
