“If you stop to think about it, you'll have to admit that all the stories in the world consist
essentially of twenty-six letters.”
-Michael Ende, The Neverending Story.
A to Z is a surreal animated alphabet that contains all the stories ever told. Each letter represents a step of the hero's journey theorized by Joseph Campbell. The letters suggest an idea through their interaction with objects, their movements, the transitions from one to the other, and also through their perceived meaning, both as a letter of the alphabet and the meaning associated to their shape. It’s a journey into the subconscious and a reflection about stories themselves and the threads that connect them.
