A group sex scene in a gay sauna becomes a real-surreal stage for desire and reflection: on sex positive spaces, our own lust and our own sense of morality.
We find ourselves in the middle of a gay sauna. In search of physical contact outside ideas of bourgeois romantic love, we are part of a group sex scene. We look at the protagonists, just as they look at us. The space becomes a stage, both real and surreal, that provokes reflections: about sex positive spaces, our own lust and our own sense of morality.
A Nepalese shaman and his granddaughter have dedicated themselves to the revival of the indigenous language of Kusunda. We get to participate – and become human archives ourselves.
The Nepalese shaman Lil Bahadur and his granddaughter Hima have dedicated themselves to the revival of his native language, Kusunda. It’s about more than communication, namely identity, tradition and awareness of one’s own history. The interactive voice-control of this VR experience allows us to learn Kusunda ourselves. We learners become human archives of an all but lost indigenous language.
