Formafantasma - Down Under - The Curious Fall of a Child Who Knew Nothing and Became Everything

Down Under The Curious Fall of a Child Who Knew Nothing and Became Everything is a picture‑book by design studio Formafantasma that blends fiction and scientific research to build ecological awareness for children and adults alike. The book begins with an illustrated story by Clément Vuillier about a child’s journey through the hidden layers of Earth after falling into a hole, encountering unexpected lifeforms and shifting their perspective on humanity’s relationship with the planet. The second part brings together reflections, essays by scientists and educators, and interviews conducted by Formafantasma, challenging anthropocentric thinking and questioning extractivist narratives. Inspired by the educational traditions of Enzo Mari and Bruno Munari the publication encourages readers to imagine interconnected regenerative futures and rethink how humans relate to the environment.
