EMPEROR is an interactive and narrative virtual reality experience that invites the user to travel inside the brain of a father suffering from aphasia. Alongside his daughter, we journey into the father’s mental space – imagined as a hand-drawn, monochrome landscape – as she seeks to learn more about his inner self, now obscured by illness.
To see VR movies, a day ticket at the MO Museum and pre-registration are required:
