Enchanted by the vibrant Slovak folk culture, Japanese animation artist Kaoru Furuko and Swedish musician Christian Wellbo embarked on an artistic journey into its folklore, folktale, and music, which turned out to be years of exploration. Their shared cultural expedition coalesced as the audiovisual journal, "Tapping Black Boots". Kaoru wove the visual tapestry by collaging her captured inspiration, sketches, animations, journals, and video documentation, which she crafted and accumulated through her journey. Intertwined with this visual narrative, echoes of old Slovak folk songs reimagined in Christian's techno beats. This is like a musical picture book, a journey of two artists following the alluring invitation by the magic of the land.
