Flipbook The Snail Home In Wonderland

Japanese artist Mou Hitotsu no Kenkyujo once again delivers a fresh take on the traditional flip book by incorporating negative space into his animated art. Flipping through the book, unexpected designs reveal secret compartments that play a role in the mini-narrative that unfolds. In this instalment, a little bird visits a tiny domicile that is actually part of a living snail’s shell, perched on a leaf. A lantern bug crawls inside, but what happens to the homeowner next is extraordinary!
