Client
Museum Strauhof Zurich

Often associated with the idea of paradise, islands are also solitary and secluded places as they have no direct surroundings but the open sea. Far away from the mainland we are accustomed to, Marine Planeten is an interactive experience of Judith Schalandsky’s novel “Atlas of Remote Islands”, in which you discover five of the most mysterious isles on Earth, each located in a different ocean.

Stepping into the unknown, you enter a dark room filled with black sand. A controller, shaped as a globe, serves as a steering wheel that allows you to hop from one island to another and navigate through their enclosed secrets.
