The Ugly Duckling

The story of The Ugly Duckling is presented to visitors through six scenes. These represent the transformation of the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, while they also remind the visitors that the ugly duckling is Andersen telling his own story. On this set, each scene is composed of three layers, 2 cut outs and 1 digital screen, however, they are read as one. The screens are looping and playing continuously so visitors see The Ugly Duckling in multiple places at once.
