What will our world be like without emotions, and will anyone even miss them?
This question, provoked by the concern that life in current circumstances of constant digital connectivity and instant likes and emoticons is heading into a state where emotions are increasingly losing their role and are retreating into cliches, has motivated the visual artist and author Eva Petrič to create ”@apple girl story²; to be a shadow or a puppet…”.
The multilayered story and its book are a hybrid by their content as well as its form. It is a hybrid of a literary story, switching between a fairytale and a contemporary email diary, and the visual dictionary of emotions, among which many are on the brink of extinction. The text itself is a hybrid, mitigating between images and sentences, spread out over paper of different colours in ways where sentences form visual images. By depicting figures in their material forms of bodies as well as in their immaterial forms as shadows, the book enables viewers various ways of perception and possibilities of creating one's own stories.
