Prologue

Kim David Bots graduated in Illustration from the Utrecht School of the Arts. Bots works with a variety of media and is fascinated with narratives in a broad sense.

The collection presented here is part of an ongoing project in which Bots uses the prelude to a large-scale dramatic event within a fictitious city as the narrative framework for a book. Under the working title Prologue, he tries to provide the reader with insight into his research methods while simultaneously developing a narrative. The displayed material combines found images, photos, sketches, drawings, and other elements that are all thematically or associatively connected. Bots uses a similar approach in the making of his forthcoming book.
