Dear Passenger, You Are Lost Between Two Lights

Dear Passenger, You Are Lost Between Two Lights

Dear Passenger, You Are Lost Between Two Lights is a VR walking experience that explores the liminality of dream and memories during a long flight in the dark. The experience setting takes place on a plane, where the audience “wakes up” to surreal yet tangible scenarios and goes on a walk, eventually returning to the flight.

The VR liminal experience was inspired by the intercontinental flights I have taken. These flights are often more than 12 hours long and are spent mainly in darkness, broken occasionally by cold dim light. For the passenger, the airplane cabin is a place of confusion as well as the site of realization—that they are being transported through both space and time.
