The Two Fishermen
This sample work is inspired by Italo Calvino's work ‘The Castle of Crossed Destinies’. The original work was not suitable for a digital reworking. On the one hand because Calvino's works are still covered by copyright, and on the other hand because it was difficult to create animations for certain passages in the book.
For the sample work, I chose to set the story on the Italian Riviera, between the city of Marseille, the place of origin of the tarot, and Genoa, Calvino's city of origin. Drawing on Calvino's work, I tell the story of an Italian and a French fisherman who meet in a tavern in Genoa. Since they do not speak each other's language, they decide to communicate using tarot cards.
