Swaposcope

Bernardo P. Carvalho

(Portuguese edition)

What might this strange word mean?
Is it the name of a fish with wonky eyes? SWAPOSCOPE
Or is it what we call someone who is constantly changing their mind?
No, it’s nothing like that.

The Swaposcope is the invention of the century: a fabulous machine that can change the world, shuffling its parts and setting them back down, arranging everything in new and unexpected configurations.

If there are things you think need changing, take a look  at the Swaposcope and press the button.

What they say

Decoding the shapes that make up the image is the name of the game here. But, as a good picture book, the carefully constructed visual aspect doesn’t limit itself to being that alone, and the game becomes a coded message.(…) A book without words but with an ethical intention which is plain to see and well worth exploring.
