The Third Elevator

The Third Elevator is the story of a swan, a bluebird, the curious family they form together, and the mysterious elevators in the center of their village — one that rises into the sky, one that opens into a forest, and one that descends underground. Other characters include a miner in search of something beyond the walls of his cave, a logger too gentle to chop trees, a team of kleptomaniacal dove nurses, a king with an appetite for turtles, and his queen, the swan’s first owner.Nothing Moments is a collaborative project in art, literature, and design organized by: Steven Hull and Tami Demaree with Annie Buckley and Jon Sueda.Story by Aimee Bender ; photographs by Marnie Weber ; design by Katie Hanburger.
