“Carousel” is an animation movie based on printmaking art, in particular rotogravure. Each figure, drawing, line, and all hues and tones of colors, are coming from the traditional techniques of etching, which are using the same, from Middle age. Etching named the way of writing on metal plates with acid. For this reason, it has been kept deliberately, this mechanical, spasmodic, movement of each part which is moving, mentioned that this animation is coming from a kind of puzzle, from small and bigger pieces of art, handmade printed on paper. “Carousel” is consisted from many separated pieces of paper from old and new prints. Also, the soundtrack which “Carousel” is moving on it, stresses the rotations of this “child΄s” toy and based also on an acoustic kind of puzzle, which is consisted by industrial tools, instruments, manipulated voices and natural sounds effects, like wind and thunders.
