REASON

WHAT

ORDERS

CHAOS
REASON IS WHAT DRIVES FEARS AND NIGHTMARES AWAY

Fantasy is the ability to create, to imagine, to think of what it

might be

There are few blessed that have created entire worlds, meaningful to the tiniest
detail, worlds that enchanted or frightened generations afterwards.

Goya, Lewis Caroll, J.R.R Tolkien, Rowena Morril - a painter, two writers
and an illustrator sharing the same passion for showing the world seen
through their eyes and imagination.

Utopia
In utopias, the inhabitants share most values and consent to whatever
degree of social control they experience.
Nevertheless, the inhabitants of utopias
are portrayed as free
and
they have transcended
contemporary problems in
society
such as poverty, sexism, war...

DYSTOPIAS
an agency or authority (often the government) is frequently shown
to be in total control
the consent of citizens is irrelevant.
total social breakdown
no form of social control
no concern for human security
THIS is DYSTOPIA

BEST KNOWN UTOPIAS

PLATO REPUBLIC- , one of the earliest and most primitive utopias

It is all about limits, discipline, and hierarchy
THE CITY ON THE HILL- a Protestant utopia of everlasting hierarchy.
"We must consider that we shall be a city upon a hill
NUEVA GERMANIA Elisabeth Nietzsche, sister of the well known
philosopher, sailed to Paraguay with 14 families to find a racially pure
socialist vegan utopia along a remote river; however, things didnt work
out as they hoped.
HERLAND a colony of women of aryan stock, now isolated, giving birth to
girls through partheogenesis, creating of course a perfect world.

No matter if they were terrifying or idyllic,

inhabited by monsters or fairies, the fantasy
worlds are the living proof that human mind is
creative, resourceful and inventive, eager to go
where no one has gone before.
Now it is completely up to us to not allow
the world we created master our lives and rule our
destiny, otherwise we are going to live for real in a
nightmarish world that we ourselves brought to
life.
