Students enrolled in the New Media and Intercultural Communication programme at Landshut University of Applied Sciences regularly venture into unfamiliar territory – this time underwater. An aquarium was transformed into an experimental space for visual storytelling. Amidst floating fabrics, refracted light reflections and the unique dynamics of the element of water, storytelling was explored in an extraordinary medium.
The resulting visual worlds take up familiar myths and narratives and reinterpret them: sirens appear not only as beguiling creatures between seduction and danger, but as ambivalent figures between worlds, as many of us may feel. Atlantis becomes a projection screen for a longing for lightness, but also stands for loss and doom. And “Black Swan” is also visually transformed – as a poetic play with identity, transformation and inner tension.
