Magical habitat is an exhibition that develops through different media. Animations, sculptures, and prints are developed around the concept of searching for a magical place where everything and nothing are the same. In the zine Habitat Magico, the story and the map of this place are presented where the viewer can recognize the various elements among the sculptures and animations and get lost and found among them.
The zine is produced by Stolen Books, printed in three-color risography.
The evening will be accompanied by the music of Dj Desmoines.
