About the film

What would it be like if we lost control of our own bodies? In this interactive VR project, we can safely try it out.

Monika Masłoń opens up before us a labyrinth of the mind that seems to have no end. In simple black-and-white scenes, she takes us into situations that evoke anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Through ingenious and original interactions, she plays with our minds and our compulsive need to control everything – be it simple puzzles or the inability to move time, which seems to be frozen. Her VR essay is a commentary on the human obsession with being in control of one’s life at all times. What would it be like to step out of this prison for a while and let yourself be carried away on waves of “not having to”?
