Quoting Jean-Marc Lofficer (editor):
"ON THE BEACH
The beach is the area Which lies between the land and the water.
The earth and the sea. The conscious and the unconscious.
One finds things on the beach. Things dragged up from the depths,
and casualiy abandoned by the sea, almost as a peace offering to its
eternal opposite, the land. But not ali things found on beaches are
material. Some are insubstantial: stories, dreams, ideas. Moebius has
called these “dream artifactsâ€.
The stories coliected in this book ane just that: dream artifacts. Strange stories.
The Webster New Collegiate Dictionary defines the adjective strange as a:
not before known, heard or seen, and b: exciting wonder, aweâ€. This seems
a particularly appropniate description for these stories, when one considers
the creative process which led to their making.
It all began with the first image. There was no script, no notes, no preconceived
ideas of a direction, only the pure joy of the artist, who drew as inspiration came
to him. And during the haif hour or so it took him to draw the first image, his
mind wandered. While his hand follawed the careful automatisms it had practiced
for a lifetime, his spirit took a figurative walk on the beach. And there, it began
to imagine what the second image would be like.
Excitement grew Inspiration flew The artist began working on the second image.
And, like Scheherazade spinning her yarns over a thousand and one nights, each
image thus led to the next one, and the next, until, at last, he had reached the
end of the story.
The story thus becomes almost its own creator, and the artist only a medium.
Strangely enough, one can find an interesting parallel in modern physics, where
it is said that the presence of the observer now affects the nature of the experiment.
But we would rather think of this book as a promenade on the beach of the Moebius’ universe."
