Imagining Somewheres is an interdisciplinary undertaking, combining visual art, virtual reality, and decolonial theory to explore hope beyond the known and solidarities across difference.
This two-fold project – consisting of an abstract VR piece, an installation, and a written thesis – investigates obstruction as a beginning and its role in future-building.
In March–April 2019, the full VR installation was shown at Skånes konstförening as part of The appearance and disappearance of futures and pasts exhibition.
In 2018, I collaborated with Sydney-based architect/designer Shuang Wu on sister/scapes, which featured the VR portion of this work.
The audio is a recording of Ocean Vuong reading his own poem “Someday I'll Love Ocean Vuong” from his collection Night Sky with Exit Wounds (2016).
