The Pink Lady of Geneva: A Transmedia Project

The Pink Lady of Geneva is a transmedia project by Alexa O’Kane based off of an original poem of the same name. The piece follows the mysterious character who moves through time to appear to various people in Geneva, Switzerland. Through a Pantoum-style poem, video, interactive story map, Instagram page, and choose-your-own-adventure game, participants can explore the story and uncover the truth behind a legend thousands of years in the making.

Pink Lady sighting! Max, a gentleman originally from France, goes for a walk by the waterfront every day. He usually sees the Lady wandering, but never had a way to capture her image. His grandson gave him a digital camera for his 85th birthday (happy birthday, Max!) so today he took his first picture with it. Stunning! Thanks, Max!
