Artwork In brief
Ever wonder what happens when a giraffe has an existential crisis? Tall Tales – The Giraffe with Big Ideas tells the story of one long-necked misfit who’s tired of putting on a show for the cameras and doing tricks for peanuts. An artistic breakdown sets him off on a journey of self-discovery through the streets and rooftops of a dark, surreal city.
As he stumbles forward, the giraffe becomes a metaphor for the modern artist: someone who aspires to see further, yet is pushed aside by a world that values speed, profit, and entertainment over true insight. Tall Tales is a playful but pointed look at what it means to break away from expectations, to rise one neck above the crowd, and to stubbornly believe that art doesn’t have to explain—or sell—itself. After all, the biggest ideas often come from those who don’t quite fit the frame.
