Synopsis
Interactive VR
Inspired by the 1922 Carl Sandburg poem of the same title, this VR single-user immersive experience explores themes of acknowledgement and participation. It is not about hanging people, but about the awkward intimacy that comes with being human and the connection between spectator, witness, and accomplice. The animated interactive experience invites you into five interwoven stories, capturing pivotal moments in people’s lives.
