This 360 VR experience is a laboratory of understanding and poetic interpretation of whiteness and the double consciousness of black people. It is a journey through the intimate world of memories and thoughts of a woman, going through several stages of her life and her different selves. Through symbolic language, a viewer contemplates her life-long process of becoming. An innovative approach in immersive storytelling bridges cinematic and post-dramatic theatre experiences. The visual narrative unfolds in the subconscious state between dream and wake.
Initiated by Russia-born US-based artists, this project is addressed to contemporary white immigrants in the US. In order to reveal the harmful impacts of white supremacy on the consciousness level, creators draw from their research on US history, identity politics, intersectionality, and consciousness studies, as well as in-depth interviews conducted with black studies scholars, artists, and community members.
