Comic as a medium is usually located between the poles of literature and film. However, the construction of space and narrative in comics seems to be much more dependent on the depiction of human (or anthropomorphic) bodies. In preparation for this work, we created an archive of individual panels from various sources that are free of depictions of bodies – interiors, landscapes, onomatopoeias and close- ups. Searching for a logic of our own in these images, we assembled them into a new plot. Due to the lack of human and antropomorphic actors, the speech bubbles initially refer to the objects in the pictorial space and then to the images themselves, until finally, in search for their recipients, the opposition of language and image begins to dissolve.
