while shadows remain, 2025 (upcoming) vr simulation / installation



while shadows remain is a VR installation that immerses participants in a simulation, weaving a fantastic mythology based on stories collected through interviews conducted in cruising spots. 
In the woods surrounding a rest area in southern France, a wondrous assembly of nocturnal creatures grazes the damp bark of trees, trapped between the highway, the river, and the old concrete plant. The derelict infrastructure serves as both the stage and the main actor in intimate exchanges between men turned into monsters by moral order, caught in the turmoil of intimacy, the thrill of the hunt, and the boredom of waiting.

In this hybrid theater, one is both spectator and author, slipping from one perspective to another: embodying invasive plants that open and close pathways, the moon that illuminates what it pleases, or the nightingales that discreetly listen on every branch. You become the ever-shifting scenery that either facilitates or forever impedes their encounters. What secrets will you become privy to?
