Habitable shadows, the work that Melanie Mahler developed in ´ace, is a graphic project that is made up of 10 scenes that narrate the changes of habits of an apparently happy peasant town.
The images of Habitable Shadows will be displayed in book format and each one of them will undergo changes in the image and in its content. The first will show the linear narrative without any change. The next one maintains the same format and images as the previous one, but it will be intervened with openwork. The other will be more and more openwork and the images will go out of their two-dimensional format so that the scene is finally composed in a three-dimensional and walkable structure. The content will be affected by new compositional devices that will be added in each book that makes up the series.
