ungleichheit

Ungleichheit (Inequality) is an interactive web experience that explores social inequality through three audio-led stories shaped by lived realities of poverty. Navigation is driven almost entirely by scrolling: moving along a street gradually reveals three apartments, each opening into a personal narrative with its own concerns, experiences, and hopes. At key moments, the movement pauses automatically and the audio begins, shifting the focus from progressing forward to listening closely. A short text panel on the side provides context and helps place each account within a broader frame.

The stories are not presented as statistics or simplified examples, but as grounded, human perspectives. They are built from clusters of recurring experiences gathered during research, and assembled into three condensed narratives. The stories are so or so similar really happened. Each apartment becomes a setting for listening, with the scene holding the pace and letting the narration unfold without distraction.
