Fine Wallpaper Book

An animation inspired by a book inspired by a photograph

Well yes, it is an art book, but it really is a grand collaboration. Here are some of the key players:

TRIIIBE is an art collective started by Alicia, Kelly, and Sara Casilio (identical triplets) and Cary Wolinsky.

Daniel Kelm is one of the world’s great bookbinders.

Rick Kyle calls himself a “retoucher”, but we think of him as the go-to person when you need a Photoshop artist.

Bob Korn is a master printer who lives and works on Cape Cod.

Animation by Trillium Studios–Babs Wolinsky on design, Cary Wolinsky on still camera, and Yari Wolinsky on video.

It started with a photograph by TRIIIBE called “Fine.”  “Fine.”  Say it flat and hard, passive-aggressively as if you are going to go along with something that you don’t really agree with. TRIIIBE created it to be part of a series. Each new picture would “evolve” from the previous with the subjects gradually disappearing into the background.

That idea turned into a book. The book inspired an animation. We will let the images and video fill in the rest.
