During the lockdown, my friend Julià Guillamon told me that he had written a book, ‘Les Cuques’ (‘The Beetles’), which invites us to look at nature with fresh eyes. I got excited about creating looped gifs of beetles based on some of the chapters of the book.
Inspired by Guillamon’s insights, I embarked on creating looped gifs featuring beetles, aiming to capture their essence and convey their importance in the natural world. These gifs serve as visual representations of the book’s message, encouraging viewers to see these creatures in a new light and foster a deeper connection with nature.
If you’re interested in exploring the wonders of nature through the lens of ‘Les Cuques’, I highly recommend delving into the book itself to uncover the rich tapestry of stories and insights it offers.
Afterward, they were exhibited at the Museu del Joguet de Catalunya and the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Granollers, providing audiences with the opportunity to experience the beauty and fascination of beetles firsthand.
