Playing at reinventing the world

There are books that don't need words to be really cool. They also don't need to have easy-to-recognize illustrations to be very interesting. trochoscope and so. Illustrated by Bernardo Carvalho, he proposes a simple idea: a drawing made with 142 colored pieces, between triangles, circles, rectangles, squares… On each page, a piece is removed and placed in the white space, to side. Little by little, what had nothing starts to form something. And what had everything changes its face, transforming itself into other forms until it completely dissolves. And tell a new story.

You have to look hard to make sense of it all. Early on, if you look at it, you'll see that the illustration had factories, carts, chimneys, smoke, fire, and even the sign of radioactivity. Then, each element goes out and combines in another way. It's nice to spend time looking where he was and where he ended up. Until, when turning pages, an alligator and some flowers appear beside it. Then a horse and a purple dragonfly appear. Then an elephant and a rhinoceros. If you look closely, you will see birds, insects. It's the miracle of imagination running through this brilliant idea by Bernardo. As the book itself says: “Trocoscope is a fabulous machine to reinvent the world, to shuffle the pieces and rearrange them, showing everything with new and unexpected arrangements”.

And you know whats is most cool? That Bernardo ends up giving us an amazing idea: just take colored paper, cut out various shapes on them and, after everything is ready, start creating illustrations with them. Afterwards, take the pieces out little by little and create others. You can even play guessing games with a friend: for each piece, a guess! Isn't that cool?
