bittikuvia

Bittikuvia is a fictional world created by writers Pasi Pitkänen and Marko Pekonen. The story takes place in an alternate universe where reality is hidden behind a translucent veil known as the wall of perception. It serves as a backdrop for series of thought-provoking discussions among its characters about topics such as existence, free will, predetermination, time, and clarification.

The Bittikuvia narrative diverges from classical linear storytelling. It blends elements from various literary genres, exploring different themes and scientific theories, including the concept of multiple parallel universes. In this context, parallel universes are presented as a cosmic vast library containing an endless variety of stories and possible realities.

Bittikuvia unfolds through group epistolary storytelling, consisting of emails, letters, and texts exchanged between characters. This non-traditional narrative format often blends news articles, commentaries, and theoretical discussions. The identities of characters and their relationships with each other remain ambiguous throughout the unfolding story, adding to the mystique of the Bittikuvia universe.

Each part of the narrative is presented as an entry in an ongoing journal, with each entry expanding the scope of the story in different directions. The prevailing style is informal, as if written by people experiencing the events firsthand.

Bittikuvia first appeared in 2014 in the form of social media posts and Facebook notes, which were gradually transcribed and compiled into a full narrative. The entirety of its narrative is now accessible through online sources and publications, charting its world and themes in fascinating and thought-provoking depth.
