Reviews

What stories do the threads tell when they get together, busy weaving tirelessly? The silk thread tells how it was born from the bowels of a caterpillar and then wrapped it in a cocoon to allow it to transform into a butterfly; the spider's thread tells how it becomes web and trap for insects; that of cotton explains how from seed it becomes flower, then thread, then bag; the thread of light describes how in the morning, accompanied by other threads of light, it repels darkness. And the last thread, the thread of thoughts, tells how it becomes history, a story that will be transmitted from generation to generation… Takam Tikou
