A Vocal Landscape is a hyperrealistic VR film that explores the strange anatomy of a conversation. The spectator is taken on a dreamlike journey through a snippet of a late night conversation between two people. The spectator is present with them in an ever-changing room where hyperrealistic visuals highlight the imaginative journey each of them take as well as the unspoken interaction between them – opening a fresh, nuanced way of looking at the uneven paths of communication.
