Whilst away filming in Moscow, I had the please of meeting some really interesting artists. In particular, I met with an instillation artist, Sergie whilst at a party. Through the aid of a translator, we discussed the ideas behind his interest in instillations, and ones emotional ties to the idea of spaces. Most of which coincided with my own, yet with a different perspective, naturally.
Sergie hadn't used VR before, but fortunately I had bought along a Samsung Gear headset; as you do, should such occasion arise... He identified the possibilities of such technology, which set off a whole city of light-bulb ideas within his mind, which was physically apparent during his use of the headset and the conversation that followed.
Over the course of the week we discussed the endless potential of VR and its relationship to instillations and finally landed upon a strong idea. We scanned a few interesting locations, which perfectly met our desired vision, with my little Fujifilm camera.
We hope to put this piece into the public domain by mid 2018.
