SUB SPECIE LUDI

SUB SPECIE LUDI
the play element in the adult world
The activity of play is aware of its unreality, play is separated, has well-defined limits of space and time, has rules that suspend ordinary laws. The game is unproductive, it does not create value.

This is the world of the game
kid's play and the play for adults ?

But some fracture was formed during growth...

I wanted to photograph the four distinct forms of game types proposed by Caillois (*)

Competition (agon)

Chance or randomness (alea)

Simulation (mimicry)

Movement (ilinx)

Emphasizing the inability of adults to enter in the world of the game...
