The work questions the influence of cinema (and particularly Disney’s movies) on our ways of experiencing and looking at the world. […Sketches, stories and maps are the main tools Walt Disney had at his disposal to imagine and create his worlds. In this video, Clara Lezla explores the promises and imagery hidden in these maps. Based on an interview with french geographer Jean-Francois Staszak, she presents an anthology of the map as a ‘portal’ to other worlds. Using the map as a vehicle for dreaming about and telling stories, the video questions the notion of simulacra (copies with no real originals) as the most important component of our reality.]
