Silent Narratives Exploring the Power of Wordless Sequential Art.mp4

This presentation intends to delve into the unique storytelling potential of comics and sequential art (almost) devoid of words, focusing on how visual language alone can convey complex narratives, emotions, and themes. By analyzing notable examples such as Tsutomu Nihei's Blame! Manga, Matt Rhodes' Tellurion webcomic and others, the presentation will explore how these works employ intricate world-building, dynamic panel composition, and atmospheric imagery to immerse readers in their narratives. Blame! showcases a haunting dystopian universe where silence amplifies the desolation and mystery, while Tellurion uses richly detailed visuals to weave a story of epic fantasy and existential questions.
