Pieces of imagination.

想像の欠片。

Each plywood page is like a close-up of an imaginary manga page. Using the division of panels, wide shots and closer-ups of objects, text and visual cues found in the plywood, Alexis opens up random spaces of imagination by capturing an ongoing moment in a larger narrative that is undisclosed. 

Without the use of any manga characters, plywood pages evokes the experience of manga-reading. It stirs the mind to respond to the presented scenes by automatically linking adjacent panels and filling up the mental blanks for the moments before and after the scenes.
