Ground Floor
Where do you have to go to find yourself?
by Camilla Costa (writer) / Guilherme Athayde (illustrator)
Description
Starting from the question “Where do you have to go to find yourself”, GROUND FLOOR is a gorgeously illustrated book that reflects on the act of moving and leaving a home. The illustrations by Gui Athayde depict a person, or a body, in transition, with sparse poetic text by Camilla Costa, print in both English and Portuguese. Here physical movement is grounded by internal stasis; or longing for a home that once was. The illustrations consume the pages in blues and reds, or sometimes get stripped back to leave only the text hand lettered and running parallel in both languages.

Reviews
“The book reflects on the act of moving and leaving a home, with sparse text written in both English and Portuguese. The illustrations themselves depict a person, or a body, in transition. Here physical movement is grounded by internal stasis; or longing for a home that once was. The illustrations consume the pages in pastel blues and pinks, or sometimes get stripped back to leave only the text hand lettered and running parallel in both languages.” Ligaya Salazar, curator
