About

The project Tigermücke – KIM by Meret Jans in collaboration with ZHdK is an animated video that informs about the spread of the invasive Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) in Switzerland. The film explains how the species, originally from Southeast Asia, is gradually establishing itself in Europe and reaching Switzerland primarily via the motorway system, transported in cars and trucks. Through illustrated sequences and accessible storytelling, the video raises awareness about how globalization and mobility contribute to the spread of vector species, while also engaging viewers with a playful yet informative visual style.
