As though on automatic, passersby walk the same path; one day indistinguishable from the other. Until a surprise encounter ruptures this everyday. There is a secret world in the central train station, one eerily similar to our own, but just off enough to destabilise reality. In this unassuming monolith there is a gateway to another world, or rather a story that takes place overlaid unto a glitch of reality. Viewers will encounter their own bodies disrupted, and peak into a strange encounter. And then, in the end, it will loop and start again.

In a unique approach to immersion, the piece not only toys with our own feeling of body and the shape of reality, but as well with the body and shape of virtual reality. By extending virtual immersion into the shape of a reflecting sculpture (rather than a headset), the work opens the door to portals of many shapes and sizes. Keep an eye out for the not-so-familiar and slide into the unexpected.
