Visitors move through the floor plan of a Taiwanese house; as they step into each room, the projected image shifts to reveal that space and fragments of the story it contains. Gradually, a portrait emerges of a couple returning to their abandoned home to gather belongings and confront the secrets they have kept from one another.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/movingimage.org\/event\/proof-as-if-proof-were-needed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">More information<\/a><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSense of Nowhere\u00a0(2025)<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nHsin Hsuan Yeh (b. 1997, Taiwan)<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nWhere do we go when we zone out, and how do we find our way back to awareness? Inspired by Taoism, Buddhism, and Jungian psychology, director Hsin Hsuan Yeh\u2019s VR project\u00a0Sense of Nowhere\u00a0blurs the line between inner world and outer reality, transforming fragmented thoughts into a tangible experience.
