Arbres-Mondes is a transmedia project, produced by Cécile Palusinski and Elsa Mroziewicz.
It comes as an enriched digital book in web book format, illustrations with sound contents, 1 giant augmented and sound pop-up tree, a collection of illustrated poems Pages d'Arbres, published by Tinqueux’s Centre de créations pour l'enfance (centre of creations for children).
The visitor is invited to discover 22 trees and 7 forests from all over the world, from a map on which they can navigate, and to experience a unique multi-sensory reading specific to each type of forest (words, images, sounds). The 22 trees were chosen for their strong mythology. The 7 forests have been chosen to account for the different types of forests in the world (boreal, tropical, temperate): tropical and high-altitude forest of Costa Rica, French deciduous forest, Yakushima subtropical forest, etc.
The web book is at the heart of the device with direct access on the site : https://www.arbres-mondes.com/ , but also from the giant pop-up tree, the collection of poems (access via QRCODE) or from the illustrations. The complete system can be presented as part of a travelling exhibition, the giant sound pop-up tree being foldable and movable in a briefcase, and the web book being video - projectable.
This project is based on our desire to question the relationship of man to nature through the universal archetype of this structuring tree, connecting the celestial, terrestrial and underground worlds, a concept at work in many peoples around the world.
