Anooki

Intro： Two French designers, Moetu Batlle and David Passegand, have created the Anooki and developed this animated universe first on the internet, then with collector’s items, and especially with sound and light shows and gigantic inflatable statues. For the past decade their light and sound shows and exhibits have travelled the world over. The Anooki are two characters inspired by the Inuit. Their pack ice has melted. Now, they travel the world with cheeky determination to inspire us to take care of the earth. The Anooki are droll and cheeky. They convey values of friendship, of peaceful cohabitation. They communicate their high spirits, touching the hearts of adults and enthralling the little ones. They commandeer urban spaces, diverting them and reimagining them as playgrounds, bubbles of freedom. They change how we see cities and our surroundings. They redefine the scale and importance of places. They are also stalwart messengers for the environment. The Anooki are well positioned for observing the fragility of our planet and climate change. Their ice floe has dissolved; they are on the front line in experiencing these climate upheavals. We believe that the solution to environmental issues lies in each and every one of us, in our power to imagine and fashion solutions. And what if the Anooki had the power to let our imaginations run wild?
