In the heart of SellFable, The Archivist stumbles upon an astonishing discovery – an electric moth made entirely of light, which he names Dawn. The Archivist brings her to life with the aid of one of his rechargeable batteries. As Dawn gains consciousness, she yearns to understand her existence and questions the boundaries of her ethereal being. The Archivist in turn grapples with the realization that Dawn might be the embodiment of humankind’s lost dreams and desires.
Despite his initial awe, he recognizes that he must set her free. A tumultuous journey of self-discovery and letting go takes them both to the brink of despair, exploring the profound complexities of their intertwined fates.
Who will join Dawn on her journey?
“Dawn” is an original illuminated engraving by SellFable, and is powered by a customized rechargeable battery. The engraving is made by carefully carving out each line one by one, resulting in an image that shines out subtle and appealing light. The labor-intensive process can be understood as a statement against mass production and the mainstream throwaway culture. While we are speeding up the biotechnological developments of our time and become more and more obsessed by the digital realm, the automated beings in the parallel SellFable universe are desperately looking for a human soul.
