Project Overview


Summary

<aside> 💬 The project is a practice-based interactive experience that merges environmental storytelling and cinematics within a 10-minute framework. It invites the audience to dive into an abstract, metaphorical, and poetic narrative through the perspective of the protagonist. This narrative is deeply rooted in the Sisyphean Myth, aiming to dissect the human quest for meaning within the labyrinth of an absurd contemporary society. By focusing on themes of alienation and isolation in modern urban environments, the project scrutinizes the stark disparities and impersonal nature of city life, reflecting on the individual's struggle for connection and identity. It underscores the cyclical nature of existence, highlighting the oscillation between despair and resilience in the face of existential uncertainty, all while engaging the audience with passive gameplay. Utilizing the aesthetics and thematic complexity of film noir and neo-noir, the project offers a rich, immersive exploration of these existential themes, providing a commentary on the human condition within the framework of contemporary socio-economic issues.
