The Fantasy of Requirements as a Tool for Norm Construction.
The project’s foundation was my family’s personal experience—the search for a nanny for my one-year-old nephew. Each nanny came with inflated, absurd expectations, which I documented and visualized in the format of a children’s book. The felt here reflects the living nature of childhood, while the extraneous objects symbolize the intrusion of outside rules into this delicate matter. The theme of «fantasy» unfolds through the imagined world of expectations into which a real child is forcibly placed.
