Homescape
VR Installation

An interactive Virtual Reality and video installation, Homescape takes the viewer on an eerie nightly journey around the outskirts of Maas, an Israeli village. The viewer explores fields where native trees and animals, abandoned buildings from colonial British rule and ruins of Palestinian settlements reside together. These marginal spaces are the sites of the artist’s childhood memories. It is there that viewers are confronted with the unknown – the mysterious regions close to home and the uncharted territories of their own mind. With a guided meditation sequence opening the experience, the piece bridges the history and cognitive experience of the individual with the local and global cultures in which they are immersed.
