Der Topf

In this project, I am dealing with storytelling in digital space. I developed an interactive web app that tells the fairytale »Der Topf« (engl. »The Pot«). The story is about a man who finds a magical pot in his cornfield that infinitely reproduces all the things you put in it. At first sight a blessed find for the poor farmer and his little daughter. But it doesn't take long until the unexpected wealth and greed for more and more treasures take over and literally threaten to destroy everything.

Animation / Illustration / Storytelling / App-Prototype, 2017

The app works as follows: On a long horizontal path, the story takes place in a purely illustrative form. There is sound but no language or text. Left and right swiping or scrolling causes the movement on the track and thus through the fairy world. Readers can follow the story fluently and at their own pace. You can stop at any time and look at details.
