The Night of the Mermaids
Hélène Kérillis
from René Magritte
Art-Fiction
In a dreamlike world, the encounter between two amazingly different beings, a siren and a Two-Legs
A river at night time. The little girl Jane is unhappy. So she runs away from her boarding school and walks along the river bank. At the same time, a group of mermaids begins its migration to the sea. They fear only one thing: meeting a Two-Legs. Then Jane slips into the black waters and the unlikely encounter does take place.
Mainly inspired by the famous painting The Empire of Light by Magritte, this children’s book has been written to accompany the eponymous exhibition, from September 19th 2013 to January 13th 2014, at the Magritte Museum in Brussels.
Every detail of the canvas plays a role in the story with a modern graphic layout by the TroisFoisPlus designer studio.
