Umwelt

Narrative Design / Video Production
The term “Umwelt”—coined by German biologist Jakob von Uexküll in the early 20th century— describes the unique perceptual world of each organism, offering insight into how reality is shaped by our knowledge and perceptions. Viewing the world as an assemblage of perspectives, this experimental video Umwelt interweaves human and insect viewpoints, drawing from both scientific and philosophical inquiries. It invites openness to differences, other beings, and even more-than-human perspectives—moving beyond singular belief.
