Traversing The Mist, XR experience 17 July
A groundbreaking, immersive experience. The tangibly embodied voyeuristic journey spans the full spectrum of fear, desire, discovery, corporeality, community, ageing, and death.
Description
In a surreal gay sauna you find yourself embodied in the body of a young Taiwanese man. You venture into this dream world, woven with desire, excitement and fear, and meet the gaze of other sauna-goers. As you move across each floor, corridor and room, every layer of the maze inevitably unravels behind you. Eventually everything fades away. With Traversing the Mist, CHOU Tung-Yen pushed the boundaries of real-time XR technology and storytelling. “We wanted to honour a work that left us speechless and consciously connected. This groundbreaking and immersive experience offered us a tangible, embodied voyeuristic journey encompassing the full spectrum of fear, desire, discovery, physicality, community, ageing and death. – Shari Frilot.
