'Down Under: The Curious Fall of a Child Who Knew Nothing and Became Everything' is a picture book by design studio Formafantasma that blends fiction and scientific research to foster ecological awareness in both children and adults. Commissioned by C-mine to explore Belgium’s postindustrial landscapes, the book examines the complex ties between humans, the environment, and other lifeforms. Divided into two parts, it opens with an illustrated story by Clément Vuillier about a child’s journey through the Earth's layers. The second part features reflections from scientists and educators, including an essay by Teresa Castro and interviews by Formafantasma. Inspired by the educational ethos of Enzo Mari and Bruno Munari, the book invites readers to rethink extractivist narratives and imagine more interconnected, regenerative futures.
