Gumi Poyo
A tiny world inside a gummy bag is disrupted when the bag opens and a giant human hand reaches in.
About the work
Official synopsis
Gumi Poyo is a miniature world inside a bag of gummy candy. When the bag opens, the sky tears apart and a giant human hand begins to interfere with the lives of its inhabitants.
Artistic focus
The festival review highlights the colourful characters, charming world and the quiet pleasure of everyday conversations. The vertical format becomes part of the scale: an ordinary human action turns into a world-changing event for a tiny universe.
