The Moment of Freedom Experience
A Poetic Prototype of Documentary Virtual Reality
Experience the incomparable moment when Holocaust and World War II survivors take their first steps in freedom. The Moment of Freedom Experience has collected the captivating faces and stories from the survivors with a collage technique, partly inspired by the legendary artist Hannah Hoch.
The VR experience is part of a planned interactive exhibition created by Anna Senno. The experience is the next chapter in the stories from Magnus Gertten’s documentary films “Harbor of Hope” and “Every Face has a Name”.
The prototype is produced by Auto Images and supported by Film i Skåne. The work is presented in collaboration with BoosthHbg and members from the team will be present to explain the development process and plans for the exhibition.
