The cube containing all the ’tilting beds’ was at the origin like a vessel to us. A vessel, an unfolding head, maybe a hut.

Finally Stef and I decided to skip the live immersion in the miniature setting. We had a labyrinth of guinea pigs replacing it. The labyrinth was made during wokshops by/and with students of Toneelacademie Maastricht and Rits Brussels.
Through the openings of the labyrinth one can see the ongoing scenes at the outside. The whiteness of the styrofoam produced very nice framings.

Working with small robots as a carrier for the 360°cameras allows you to enter a known world from a different perspective.

In an immersive situation (like with the goggles) it produces an estranged kind of presence, particularly if you can integrate it ‘live’.
The plan was to have immersants wander through ‘live’ maquettes which would be constructed with ice at the location itself.
As a test we attached speakers at the belly of 5 immersants. Each immersant is so to say embodying a different character (at the inside of the image). That character speaks through him, at the outside we can hear the different personages as if they were really speaking to each other. After all we decided not to use the concept.
