This practice-led PhD explores how narration in a picture book can be expanded through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The story concerns a woman who after 40 years in mourning at the loss of her lover in the 1964 Brazilian coup d’état, lives in a room of accumulated memories. One day when the only photograph of her lover breaks, it sets in train a series of strange events. For each illustration, the user has the option of selecting one of three separate buttons in the tablet device, each activating a different version of the story. Three narrators (saints) present complementary but diverging interpretations of the events shaped by their different theological positions. The respective values of compassion, orthodoxy, and pragmatic realism distort details of imagery, sound, movement, and meaning. Thus, the printed image may be understood as a vacant set awaiting each saint’s interpretation of an episode in the story. When scanned, the image reviews an interactive parallax that produces a sense of three-dimensional space.
