Down the Rabbit Hole
Jiedi Chen
2013
An “event horizon” is what astronomers call the boundary demarcating the point at which a cosmic black hole’s pull is inescapable. Similarly, but in less gravity-crushing terms, Chen here depicts Alice approaching a fictional event horizon—the rabbit hole. Intriguingly, the swirling, chaotic scene around the rim of the hole is seen from the reverse vantagepoint of the viewer—who is ostensibly already inside it! Once Alice crosses through, we know she will experience a set of otherworldly adventures that will forever alter her universe.
