Grimm City FleaFolly: The Antidote to Disney

There are few mediums that the Brothers Grimm fairy tale have not been adapted. stories and movies for children redacted since given way to stories revisionists who embrace the macabre coloring the original, but something of the Gothic folklore Brothers Grimm still holds hover over the popular imagination worldwide. No matter what kind of adaptation is created - musical, child or modernized - the essential Grimmness tales still glowers through. Grimm City FleaFolly is just such a creation.

The models and drawings are incredibly complex work of this FleaFolly - composed of duo Pascal Bronner & Thomas Hillier - call the narrative architecture. Taking the tales of the Brothers Grimm and distill the essential, they used the worlds created by the brothers in 1812 as the DNA for their own, carefully designed world. Not content to simply make the essence of tangible Grimm, Grimm City is a fully articulated concept of a world with institutions and infrastructure present, and both nightmarish and enchanting. This is not only a model of a set of stories, it is itself a fully equipped history as a city.

There are no direct references to Tales - instead of the imaginary town consists of structures with names including Silver forest, barometer and central Morning Star, casting light and shadows all around the city. Running on details, arcane and completely convincing, FleaFolly centuries easily rival the Grimm tales illustration of paint.

The duo will be running a workshop later this summer at Tate Modern in London, with the intention of use narrative architecture "design and construction of a miniature village fiction entirely from paper" by tapping into the collective unconscious memory of this group.
