    • Synopsis
    • Inside a surreal gay sauna you find yourself embodied in the body of a young Taiwanese man. You venture into this dreamscape, woven by desires, excitements and fears, crossing eyes with the other sauna-goers who all have the same faces. As you walk along every floor, corridor and room, each layer of the maze irreversibly unravels behind your back. Eventually everything disappears. With Traversing the Mist, CHOU Tung-Yen pushes the boundaries of real-time XR technology and narrative, and expands the VR360 film In the Mist into a 6DoF multi-user experience.
