samsara

Samsara is a fantastical story set in the future, inviting audiences to experience different bodies in VR—an embodied journey of consciousness through cycles of reincarnation. In this VR experience, you do not merely observe the world. Again and again, you are placed into different bodies. When inhabiting human bodies, you sense time, place, allegiance, position, and causality as lived conditions rather than abstract ideas. When entering non-human bodies, perception shifts—life and death blur, time and space lose their familiar structure, and existence is reshaped through the corporeality of other beings. Samsara invites you to discover through the body itself : what we call progress may be nothing more than a distorted Möbius strip. What can truly change is not the world, but the way you perceive and exist within it. 《Samsara》｜Selected International Awards 2021 Venice International Film Festival - Official Selection 2021 Cannes XR - Best VR Story 2021 SXSW Virtual Cinema - Jury Award 2021 Prix Ars Electronica - Honorary Mention 2022 Animafest Zagreb Best VR Project 2022 Annecy International Animated Film Festival - Official Selection
