- Abstract
- (en) This article explores the mediation and sublimation of sequential art through Mythologie de mon Aquarium, a film created as part of Storytelling Project, combining oil painting, animation, and augmented reality (RA). The animated loop becomes a structuring principle, enriching both the narrative and the viewer's experience. Drawing on concepts from narratology and media archaeology and rooted in the research Narrativity and Rhythmicity of Ornamentation in Bulgarian Sequential Art in the Digital Age, this project examines how narrative unfolding (Gencheva 2023) and mediageny (Marion 1997) shape new hybrid media. Structured around an interplay of light and darkness, Mythology of My Aquarium explores themes such as otherness, transmission, and personal transformation, which give the short film an initiatory significance. Situated within a broader reflection on the intermediality of sequential art in the digital age, this project questions new modes of distribution, exhibition, and performance, incorporating Gif Art, NFT (tokens non fongibles), as well as various explorations in augmented reality, cinematic performances, immersive installations, and video mapping.
