Diary of a Shapeshifter
Haunted by a shadow cast by fear an artist faces surreal manifestations of his subconscious mind. The artist finds himself in despair, lacking inspiration and faith in his art. External pressure to perform and the internal need to please drive him crazy. With an omnipresent audience, fear of exposure, and light obsession of Sisyphus the artist becomes a shapeshifter, changes color to fit in, and blends into his environment. In his existential crisis, the artist is imprisoned in worlds of his mind that he tries to escape, through imaginary spaces. A dance between meaningful and meaningless, rational and irrational, conscious and subconscious. Everything seems senseless in the bigger picture, an image he's trying to create.

Missing 10 Hours
How could it have happened, in a public space and in the company of people who call themselves friends? This is the question that always arises in response to yet another news story about date rape. But rape cases like this often involve more people than just the perpetrator and the victim. Missing 10 Hours makes you realize how much the decision and actions of bystanders can drastically influence the course of an evening.
In this interactive VR piece, the viewer is led on a night out by Greg, a big-headed guy with bad intentions. He spikes 22-year-old Mara’s drink with the drug GHB, and she gradually loses control of her actions. A walk through the night ends in a backstreet, where Greg maneuvers Mara into a dark corner. The choices the viewer makes during the evening—go along with Greg, watch passively or intervene—determine the outcome: a safe ending, or arrest and questioning at the police station.
