Magic! Paper transforms back into trees.
60 illustrators and 60 illustrations for a charitable goal: to do good to the environment by planting new trees in the city.
Abracadabra
2021-2022
Social Design
We selected 60 works by internationally renowned illustrators.
By purchasing the illustrations, postcards or the catalog at the online shop (link) you will contribute to planting new trees in the city: the proceeds will, in fact, be donated to the “Donate a tree” project of the City of Turin
The illustrations are also presented in some public exhibition occasions: by lining up the QR code printed on the individual works, the viewer can take part in a gamification experience thanks to the Goodvertising application developed by IGPDecaux and proceed with the purchase on e-commerce.
Why “Abracadabra”?
Abracadabra is the best known magical formula in the world, unchanged in all languages and a magical tool to change sensitive reality.
In the past the term indicated a talisman in the shape of a triangle that contained the magic word within it. If turned with the point upwards, the triangle has the function of a cone of power, to channel and increase magic.
In Abracadabra’s visual the triangle transforms into a tree.
