Isle of the Dead is a timeless journey, starting from an everyday apartment towards our final destination, guided by Charon, ferryman of the Underworld. This VR experience is a loose recreation of the eponymous work painted in 1883 by the Swiss symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin. The famous masterpiece also inspired a symphonic poem by Rachmaninov, which makes a perfect soundtrack to accompany the experience.

Under the Sky is a 5-minute immersive animated film that surrounds the viewer with a dreamlike flow of hybrid landscapes and fantastical creatures. Composed of nearly 300 watercolors created during an artistic residency in Borneo, the work is inspired by local tribal cultures and their deep, spiritual connection with the natural world. Echoing and transforming Chagall’s humanist message, the film emphasizes our fragile relationship with plants, animals and insects. Under the Sky is a poetic meditation on interconnection, loss and the cycles of life.

This immersive experience lies at the heart of the transmedia project Outsider, which blends music and dreamlike imagery to plunge us into the artist’s hallucinatory universe. It depicts the attack against the Vivian Girls, the seven young heroines and central protagonists of Darger’s epic novel, as well as their triumph over their assailants.
