(English) Tomorrow Will Be Clear
Beginning from something round and yellow, this dynamic story unfolds from left to right, top to bottom, center to peripheries, and expected to unexpected. On this yellow line, individuals walk, run, wait, hang, rest, and walk again. Thousands of traces of human action fill the space.
The story begins with a voice that delivers the weekly weather forecast. Each page depicts an ordinary scene in the morning. The yellow line of a bus stop changes into a cross walk, then stretches underground, then enters the water, rises up in the air, and settles down again on the ground. The weekly weather is changeable, as seen in a drastic temperature drop, sudden shower followed by a thunderstorm, and further complicated by particulate air conditions. However, it is no different from the future in that it is unpredictable.
A number of key characters -- a child going to school with his friend, a laborer fixing problems at his work site, an athlete training, and a traveler with a large bag -- make up this short narrative, structured like a relay race connected with a baton. The individuals who pass the yellow line are walking, hanging, swimming, struggling, resisting, and resting. The narrative heightens along with the movement, and reaches a breath-taking peak in the second half.
Author and illustrator Lee Myungae fills the pages with individuals, distances, and the art of ordinary life built from various materials and drawing techniques.(Japanese) 明日は晴れます
左から右へ、上から下へ、中心から周りへ、そして完全に予測が外れて展開する黄色い線。様々な材料とテクニックを行き来しながらも調和しているイ・ミョンエのドローイングは、千種類の体の軌跡を見せてくれる。子供と大人、近くと遠い所、日常と芸術、人間と非人間を行き来する登場人物たちの足音が涼しい版面を満たす。
