Instagram is right now the trend social network Among all those in which we can find Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Twitter and many others. What happens with Instagram that has been positioned as the preferred by millions of users, especially by the great young public that slaughters it with millions of daily uploads of images that make up their lives.
'The Cave Allegory' or the Allegory of the Cave, is a creative project that has a lot to do with Instagram, since use the app interface in its desktop version and in that of an iPhone to frame an entire large illustration that uses a series of well-placed photographs at the same time. A project that finds its space on Instagram to delight us with another way of seeing things or using this social network.
The project is headed by CTopkis and JLTopkis (their usernames on Instagram) and the real objective of it is create your own unique that differentiates you as an illustrator, as CTopkis comments.
This work takes a whole year and is designed in Adobe Illustrator. This one is divided into different portions They are positioned in such a way on the Instagram interface that it is a whole. The Allegory of the Cave is updated twice a week to add a whole row and thus be in front of a comic that uses the Instagram UI to arrange all the strips.
Although it can be viewed from the Windows desktop, on an iPhone it is where it appears in all its dimension. As CTopkis comments, as the weeks go by, the illustrations released become more psychedelic, just as it happens in his own life and as this is the medium with which to express himself at the same time as the circumstances and moments lived in his day to day life.
