Existential

Existential is an immersive installation that explores what it means to be from two different places and how perceptions of the self are influenced by the ‘other’. It is based on the idea of being interrogated with questions that seem simple by nature, but have complicated answers. Existential is a projection mapping-based live performance that showed on 24-25 November 2015 at New York University Abu Dhabi.
