GEMeinsam is an interdisciplinary, collaborative project that was developed as part of the “Hybrid Animation” course at the Hagenberg Campus of the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. The project artistically explores the theme of loneliness and how it affects people in different ways. The narrative structure guides the audience through a multi-layered residential building inhabited by numerous fictional residents. Each room reveals its own story, its own personality, and its own individual approach to isolation, longing, or withdrawal. To emphasize the commonality in loneliness, some of the rooms are interactively connected, reacting subtly to one another. This creates a silent dialogue between the individual stories and characters, underscoring the emotional depth and complexity of the subject matter.
