Collector, traveler, and researcher, David transforms his Instagram collection into a visual journey through the infinite metamorphoses of Alice. With more than 200 books from around the world and over a thousand posts, his collection celebrates illustration as a living art of transformation, where each edition becomes a portal and each artist a new mirror through which Wonderland reflects itself. He moves between shelves and landscapes with the same curiosity that guided Alice.
His feed is a dynamic collage of wonder, where books, travels, and encounters are woven into a patchwork of imagination. He photographs Alicedelic places around the world, his images often slightly tilted, escaping the orthogonal order of the ordinary, as if reality itself were leaning toward dream. David also creates short videos on the visual afterlives of Carroll’s stories. Along the way, he meets illustrators such as Oleg Lipchenko, Miraphora Mina, and Eduardo Lima, as well as other collectors who share his passion for the many faces of Wonderland.
In his own words, “I love the story, the characters, the world, the escapism. I also love how each illustrator and artist can explore the story in their own unique way and how they are so different. It’s exciting to see a new take on the story and rediscover the vintage and classic illustrations and how they inspire future artists.”
Among the treasures in his library are editions by Robert Ingpen, Chris Riddell, Helen Oxenbury, Christian Birmingham, and David Delamare, as well as a rare French edition illustrated by Daniel Dupuy. His dream book is the Japanese edition by @hannalice2023, whose delicate imagery and subtle surrealism captured his imagination.
For David, Alice is both memory and metamorphosis, a story that keeps reinventing itself through the hands and eyes of those who dare to imagine.
