Pokémon—Absurdist Version

soft cover, 3.6cm x 4cm, hand-sewn.

Embark on a philosophical journey down memory lane with Sébastien Bovie's art book, 'Pokemon: The Absurdist Version.' Sized to perfection, mirroring the classic Game Boy, this nostalgic treasure exclusively features screenshots from the original 1998 Pokemon game. But here's the twist – Bovie ingeniously swaps out the iconic speech bubbles with existential quotes from philosophical giants like Albert Camus, Douglas Adams, Oswald Wiener, and more. And okay, there might be some easter eggs to counterbalance. Think: unfamous, random tweets from arbitrary people on the internet.

In this surreal fusion of childhood nostalgia and profound musings, the familiar Pokemon scenes take on an entirely new dimension. Prepare to reimagine your cherished memories as Bovie's existential remix challenges the very nature of your Pokemon-induced reverie. It's not just a trip down memory lane; it's a philosophical rollercoaster through the Pokemon realm. Get ready to question, reflect, and perhaps laugh a little at the absurdity of it all.
