philphot_xenia_tales_cvr_1“ Η Ξένια Καλογεροπούλου επιλέγει παραμύθια απ’ όλο τον κόσμο, τα ξαναγράφει και μας τα αφηγείται με τον δικό της τρόπο, όπως κάνει τα τελευταία χρόνια στο θέατρο Πόρτα, ενώ ο Φίλιππος Φωτιάδης τα ζωντανεύει με τις πρωτότυπες εικόνες του.”

Classic fairy tales from around the world  re-written by Xenia Kalogeropoulou, a known greek actress, greatly involved with children’s theater.

All Illustrators are depicted flat (no perspective conversion lines) while the sense of depth, where needed,  is achieved by the diminishing size of the characters and objects in the background. 

Each of the four fairy tales is assigned a specific colour to complement black, white and scanned off-white paper texture. This silk screen ‘naive’ aesthetic makes a reference to lithographs in books of classic fairy tales.
