DESCRIPTION: This is a medium-length film, VR 360 format, made from live video footage recorded during an exploratory and performative venture by f' and his team.
The climb was made sideways up on the north face of an island in the Mediterranean Sea. In the film, the viewer becomes the protagonist of the climb, but has no control over its progression. Suspended between the sky and the sea on a rocky European coast that geologically belongs to the African plate, the viewer is challenged into maintaining psychophysical endurance. The montage is designed to create a physical and tangible link between f', his experience, and the viewer. Digital intrusions, glitches, voice-overs, and suspended objects appear in the virtual sphere, creating a unique journey for each viewer. The work navigates themes such as the geopolitics of the border, the manipulation of information, and error as a gap between physical and altered reality.
The video is accompanied by a specially crafted soundtrack by the musician Bienoise.
