Join curator Assistant Curator Catriona Gourlay inside the National Art Library as she handles and prepares the artist's book 'Anansi Company' for photography. The book consists of 13 delicate handmade wire and card rod-puppets which are based on the tales of Anansi, which spread from West Africa into Caribbean folklore as stories shared orally by enslaved people.
Sound designer and performance-maker Julie Rose Bower has documented Catriona's delicate examination process using ambisonic sound, letting us get closer to the object than ever before.
Watch as Catriona gently slides the puppets out of their paper slots, and shows us how they can be manoeuvred, wearing gloves to avoid getting fingerprints on the metal.

This video should be an hour long! Beautiful sounds and slow hand movements. It's one of the best in the series, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Agree! I also really enjoyed this woman’s lovely voice. I’m petitioning for her to be in more videos in the future 🥰
I very much agree! None of them are particularly long. I want to let V & A know that we “ASMR nerds” LOVE long videos! Especially if they happen to become one of our favorites. That way we don’t have to keep starting them over!
@@scicchiello I also wish it was longer! But a small tip for you: if you press the gear symbol in the top right of the video, you can turn on “loop video” so you don’t have to manually start it over! It feels like they added that feature just for ASMR vids 😅
Love this series! You have produced some of my go to ASMR videos. Please keep the series going!
Pop your notifications on and you'll never miss one!
Her accent is so lovely!
V&A has some of the best ASMR videos on TH-cam. Change my mind
“change my mind”? 🙄
@@calisongbird don’t get offended it’s just a meme
Thank you for these videos! I can't afford to go to art school so watching your videos makes me feel like I can still learn the art world from all over. 🥰
never forget that some of the best artists were autodidacts.don't let it dull your spirit. what kind of medium do you like to express yourself with ?
@@Sky-qu2ov photography but I love all art. Everything about art makes me happy. It would be a DREAM to visit museums around the world.
Where there is a will there is a way. So good one you for finding a way.
Imagine being an artisan, seeing your work handled was such reverence.
Ah V&A! These eight minute videos are such a tease! I love your ASMR at the museum videos so much please make them longer! I learn so much and they’re so fascinating but they also are so wonderful for ASMR
My favorite of this series so far. Catriona needs her own ASMR channel. She is excellent!
Yes, keep them coming 🥺
Lovely, however I cannot believe how brief you credit the Actual Artist who made the book, I had to hit pause to read and it's not mentioned in the credits or the show notes.
You can find out more about the book's crediting information here: th-cam.com/video/_7dQRJGLkMA/w-d-xo.html, or take a look at our webpage: www.vam.ac.uk/articles/handling-a-puppet-book
This whole series is so lovely, I hope to see the museum someday.
Those puppets are absolute masterpieces. They are so ingenious and intricate. So glad to see a video made with these treasures.
My only wish is for these videos to be longer because they are damn amazing
I would love to see each and every page of that book of puppets! Great information 💕
I’m so obsessed with this series! Just fantastic.
Can we have more of this?
I can’t stop watching the part where she takes the chicken hawk puppet out 😻 oh my goodness, tingle city!!
She needs to talk like this all the way through the video. Hushed reverence.
Yes, I love how her voice gets softer because she’s concentrating
There’s something about doing delicate, dexterous work that makes people’s voices go all soft. Like when she’s sliding the puppet in and out of its page. Love that
Lovely sounds. Thank you.
Why are they so short though 😭 my fave series
Oh to be handled as delicately and with the same amount of caution as this paper puppet book 😔
I was super excited because I thought this was another video with Yona Lesger. She did a fantastic job in the Chaplin/ Irving video.
i really admire that these super interesting books are being preserved so perfectly even though they're much newer than a lot of the other books i can see in the background, for example, and that the conservator is being so careful with both the puppets and the book. on the other hand i couldn't stop imagining how fun it would be to be a kid reading this book and getting to play with the puppets........ if i had this job all i'd be doing was making the little hawk fly around the room
V&A videos are my favorite on youtube! What a beautiful presentation! Thank you!
I love visiting the V & A, I could spend my entire life in there and still have more to see. These videos are such a brilliant thing to do, sharing these amazing works of art with us all, my new favourite thing to watch. More more more please 🏴❤️
Best one in the series. I keep coming back to this one! Please keep making these. ❤❤❤
I’m pretty sure I got to see one of the copies in person several years ago! My university has a copy and our instructor showed and held it to us wearing gloves :)
This Is Art !!.nothing als the human hand !!!!
Her voice literally tickles my brain! I also love how much I just learned
“This version of Anansi's stories has been created by artist Ronald King, and was published by Circle Press in 1992. It features poetry by Roy Fisher, based on material from Jamaican Song and Story, 1907.”
.
Wonderful video! I was hoping to hear more about the artists who created such a beautiful book and it would be lovely to see this information from your website in the video description at least. Love this channel 💛
❤️❤️❤️❤️😌 love these videos. Could you maybe do a ASMR video on a piece of jewelry in specific?
If anyone is wondering
ASMR = Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response
Great video and explanations! I’ll share it.
For someone who comes from a literary culture like myself, oral traditions and cultures fascinate me. I would love to experience this puppet book in person, but looking online, eek! It must have been a limited art project. No wonder, they are works of art;)
These are so interesting and relaxing to watch, would definitely love to see some longer ones as well!
This might be my favourite ASMR video of all time. Please keep this series going with more book/paper triggers!
More to come!
We need more of this. Real situational ASMR has a completely different quality than the intentional or staged videos.
This is so relaxing and beautiful! 😀✨
This is really interesting. Good job.
These videos are amazing!!
😊
Loved this! Wish it was longer, and seen more pages. Thank you
I love when you guys post the asmr videos! Educational, interesting and relaxing ✨
Thank you for uploading! This truly relaxes me! Kudos!
I'm going to look up the works of this artist, very inspiring!
I love this series so much! So relaxing and the items you show are so interesting!
Can you please make more of these amazing videos?
Make sure you're subscribed - next video is coming very soon!
This video is bliss!!!
That is an interesting piece!
Man, she has the perfect voice and diction for this.
Sounds amazing
Toute une série de petit documentaire absolument génial mais.... Please un sous-titres en français 😐 cela serait-il possible merci d'avance
I could watch this for so much longer!
Are the combs also part of the structure???❤
She's so smart!
Is it a requirement for hire that you not only have the background and education but also an amazingly soothing voice? Melting over here
A lot of it is the type of mic and audio processing of the video
See, Angels are real
❤️❤️❤️
What an amazing book and video.
:)
This was so loud compared to the other asmr vids they’ve done :( she’s basically talking at full volume
u
I Hope youll make more of these kinds of videos. They are not only relaxing but they are so incredibly edifying and fascinating. Having access to this up close and personal look at these fascinating objects is priceless.
What a refreshing young lady. Someone who knows the value of a book and how wonderful they are. Young people could learn a lot from this one.
